Originally created by @calloncampbell on GitHub (Nov 8, 2019).

Environment

Windows build number: Win32NT             10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0

Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.6.2951.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Open any console (I'm using PowerShell for this issue submission). After you open 3 tabs you get tab scroll bar buttons on either end.

Expected behavior

When opening many tabs I expect them to grow across the top like in any web browser and only show tab scroll bar buttons when needed (I have more tabs than the window can display).

Actual behavior

I only ever see my 3 tabs and I have to scroll. A screenshot of this issue can be seen on my twitter feed... https://twitter.com/flying_maverick/status/1192882256517324800
