Use Case:
A user is comparing a number of translations and a number of language tools in a two column layout with the translations in one column and the language tools in the other.
Currently, when the full title cannot be displayed in the tab, it begins a process of reducing the tab size to keep information about the open tabs displayed. First Icon and Abbreviation then Icon only. If all of the open tabs cannot be displayed, sideways scrolling begins.
Problem needing feature:
To scroll through the open tabs, the user has to click the scroll arrow button which only changes the displayed tabs by a few pixels. Depending on the number of hidden tabs, this can call for patients, longsuffering, perseverance, and endurance. While these are admirable qualities to grow, I would rather see both of the following available.
- Clicking the scroll arrow fully shows the next hidden tab in that direction.
- Clicking and holding down on a scroll arrow would show a selectable list of the open but hidden resource tabs.
If you need further information or clarification, I will be delighted to help.
