Please make QTabBar behave in the same way as the tab bar in google Chrome or Firefox

    Description

      Currently the tab bar can have its tabs set to minimum and maximum widths and when new tabs are added a scroller appears which allows the tabs to be moved left/right. This leads to a situation where tabs get hidden when more tabs are added than will physically fit into the main widget.

      The solution to this would be to emulate what google Chrome does and squash the width of each tab as more tabs are added with perhaps a scroll arrow that is split (left arrow on the far left and right arrow on the far right).

      The current way of using style sheets allows some customisation but to provide the behaviour described above would be non-trivial and probably requires a new class.
