Description
The tabbed menu is nice, but in HiDPI displays, which are common these days, one have to use 2x, 3x or even more zoom in the UI.

I use gtk3 with 2x display, and I see a button like "»" when things does not fit in the visible area. Clicking that shows a popup, which is not much usable.

The other option would be to scroll the tab, or even flip or other sort of change to show the remaining stuff.

It would be much easier to use.

Thanks Hossein. This was suggested in bug 154953 but argued against by the UX/Design team and closed as "won't fix".
I think it would be better to mark this as a duplicate and comment there if you think it should be reconsidered.
