Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have installed the latest version of Storage Explorer.
- I have checked existing resources, including the troubleshooting guide and the release notes.
- I have searched for similar issues.
Problem
A single row for tabs is difficult to work with if you are working with many tabs. Finding the tab you want at any given time is not easy using the very thin and invisible-unless-moused-over horizontal scrollbar.
Desired Solution
Allow for multiple rows of tabs. Enable it in Settings and/or allow downward expansion of the tab row using the mouse.
Alternatives and Workarounds
No response
Additional Context
See Notepad++ with "Multi-line" checked in "Settings > Preferences > General > Tab Bar" as an example.

Done means users can view tabs across multiple rows, with the chosen interaction exposed consistently in the desktop app.
