Let's make sure issue is not already fixed in latest builds first.

Suggestion

At work I'm using IntelliJ IDEA and today came across the option to have multiple editor tab rows, instead of have to scroll when they don't fit any more into the width of the window. That reminded me that I wanted that feature for a very long time also in Eclipse, which I use for my private project. Especially when you work with a lot of open files, navigating gets hard.

I saw that in the old Eclipse Bugzilla there also have been several requests for that feature of the last ~20 years, e.g.:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28722
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=58945

  • I understand suggesting an enhancement doesn't mandate anyone to implement it. Other contributors may consider this suggestion, or not, at their own convenience. The most efficient way to get it fixed is that I implement it myself and contribute it back as a good quality patch to the project.
