Description

Current tab search shows all tabs but if you have 10 or more they are off the screen. Scrolling does its thing on background page which doesn't make much sense since its already covered with tab search screen at that moment.

Yes, you can search, but if I have 10+ tabs open for days I don't know what to search really. Plus, I almost never exit full screen since with Vimium you can access all navigational stuff in it - o, shift T, b. Vimium is probably the only plugin that does full screen navigation like a champ with all features of full Chrome. If you ever add a window to activate plugin, then literally everything will be possible in F11.

Back to tab search window, adding icons next to tab names would be also of tremendeous help here.

Research direction

Start with the tab search window described in the issue and inspect how scrolling is currently handled while it is open. Done means users can scroll through 10 or more tabs in that window without scrolling the covered background page; determine whether adding tab icons is part of the same scope.
