Description Sebastian Rittau 2003-07-03 18:06:37 UTC 
(See bug 72101 against the GNOME HIG for a general discussion about tab
behaviour.)

Currently, if the required space for GtkNotebook tab labels is larger than
the available space, additional tab labels get clipped. It would probably
be better to provide a way to access these labels, e.g. by using arrows.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2003-07-03 18:21:37 UTC 
GTK+ doesn't try to compress tabs to fit ... each tab is
always allocated as big as it asked for. So, I'm not
sure what this bug is about. You aren't asking
for gtk_notebook_set_scrollable(), are you? That already
exists.
Comment 2 Sebastian Rittau 2003-07-03 20:03:27 UTC 
I actually was looking for gtk_notebook_set_scrollable(). Closing this
bug (ashamed).
