Tab pages do not seem to have "scroll" feature in 9i

Question

I have a couple of forms with a lot of Tab pages, and in the Forms9iDS it appears to have that small, horizontal "scrollbar" (widget with [start][scroll on tab page back][scroll one tab page forward][end] at the upper right corner).
However, the tab pages (when run in 9i) all show up on the same canvas, but they seem to have been shortened instead, substituting "..." where the tab page label is too long to display.
Can this be set - I mean can you choose whether it display the little scroll-thingy, or whether it tries to fit everything inside the Tab Canvas at once?

Jesper,
there exist a HTM parameter "dontTruncateTabs" that needs to be set to true. To use this HTML parameter do as follows
1. open basejini.htm in the forms90/server directory with a text editor
2. Add the following line to the IE section
<PARAM NAME="dontTruncateTabs" VALUE="true">
3. Add the following line to teh Netscape section of the same file
dontTruncateTabs=true
Note that if you use other base HTML files then basejini.htm you will have to edit these too.
