Make list of items in InfoStation scrollable

[David-S-Morgan]

Adding more than about 10 items in an InfoStation instance results in additional items being hidden. Ideally the list of items should be scrollable, in the same way that the text of each item already is if it goes over a page.

We have a project where we have many more than 10 items, and this is a showstopper for us.

Actually, seems like an easy fix.

I am not a web developer -- just figured this out from some creative searching. :-)

Hi @David-S-Morgan, thanks for another good bug report! None of our uses so far have had enough tabs to trigger this situation (seems to be 10 tabs in the default text size).

InfoStation needs to handle both the cases of a horizontal orientation (where your solution is right!) and vertical orientation (where tabs could stack into multiple rows or scroll horizontally). But that doesn't seem tricky.

I've fleshed this out in a new Issue on the Exhibitera repo (where we have moved development to):

Thanks! I'll mark this as closed and see you over on the other GH page.
