I have an application built with SWT that uses TabFolder/TabItems to split the content into several pages. When testing the application on a mac I've noticed that some of the tabs are hidden, see attached screenshot:

index.php/fa/42107/0/

This doesn't happen on Linux, if there is not enough space to show all the tables two "buttons" appear that can be used to navigate through the tabs, see attached screenshot:

index.php/fa/42108/0/

Do you know if this is a known issue? Is there a way to show these "buttons" on mac?

Thanks in advance,
Valentin

To my knowledge, TabFolder/TabItem are meant to be used with a few tabs only that fit the screen.

When you need to have a lot of tabs that might not fit the screen, use CTabFolder/CTabItem instead.
