As it stands now, if you add a large number of
TabSheet's to a TabFolder, the tab's will wrap around
and create a second row of tabs. The problem is that
this is not accounted for by the TabFolder and
therefore the sheets overlay incorrectly and the tabs
do not work as expected.
There are two different ways that this could be
addressed, both of which make sense in different ways.
One option is that scroll buttons should appear that
allow you to scroll through the tabs. The second
option would be that they stack and behave properly
like stacked tabs in other applications.
The simplest option is to have the tabs scroll, so that
is what the initial goal will be.
This is filed as a bug since it causes incorrect UI
behavior. However, once scrolling is added a new
feature request for toggling a stacked tab interface
should be opened so that it can be developed sometime
down the road.

Multirow tabs are as well widely used in many applications
and it would be nice if UI will render TabFolder with
multirow tabs properly.
