Comment (by cmbarton):

 I've followed this but haven't had the chance to relook at the options
 dialog tabs closely to see what the commotion is about until today.

 The flatnotebook control, probably for nice aesthetic reasons, does not
 show partial tabs but only complete ones if a window is too small to show
 all tabs.

 To recap, this behavior has misled some folks into thinking that there are
 not more tabs to the right.

 However, there is a visual clue--one that people need to get used to, of
 course, but a consistent one--to additional tabs beyond the right OR left
 side of the window. The little arrows on the right will be darkened in any
 direction that there are hidden tabs.

 There are some customizations possible for flatnotebook tabs, but I don't
 see anywhere that we can change the behavior that you either see all of a
 tab or you see none of the tab. The arrow buttons are a nice indicator of
 hidden tabs.  This is a bit of a learning curve, especially for new users.
 But it's not too bad.

 There are some other kinds of notebook controls, of course. Most lack
 arrow buttons to move to tabs outside the window.

 After we get this version well-stablized and bugs fixed, we can look into
 other kinds of notebooks for the layer control area (e.g., AuiNotebook) to
 see what advantages and disadvantages there might be. IMHO, the tabs we
 are using now look quite nice aesthetically.
