Description

Describe the bug

Hi, we have found issues with tilesets UI.

When project uses a lot of tilesets and you click on this button:

It shows list of available tilesets.

The problem is that there is no horizontal scroll, so if you have a lot of tilesets the list extends past the screen and you're left with no way to select the ones further over.

Steps to reproduce
  1. add many tilesets to your project
  2. Click on

Expected behavior

If the tileset list extend beyond the viewport width, a horizontal scrollbar should appear so users can navigate to it.

OS version

Windows 10

Tiled version

1.12.2

Start at the tileset list opened by the tileset button and inspect how its width and overflow are handled. Reproduce the issue with many tilesets on Windows or an equivalent narrow viewport, then verify that users can reach every tileset when the list exceeds the viewport width.
