Description
If the number ( or size ) of all tab-handles in a tabbed pane exceeds the window size ( for example after resizing the window ) it could happen, that the tab-handles are displayed in a couple of lines of handles. It would be a better solution to provide a kind of scroll bar, which allows the user to have visible only the tabs/tab-handles needed at the moment. Note that I do not think about simply adding a JTabbedPane to a JScrollPane. A disirable solution would be a 'combined' control of JTabbedPane and JScrollPane ( some solutions already exist there on the market).

EVALUATION [aim 3/17/98] This is a valid feature request as the multi-run tabs can be very annoying to endusers (especially the UIs where the runs rotate around so the selected tab is on the run closest to the content pane).
