I strongly agree with this. There should be a way to do this! I tried with jCarousel (http://sorgalla.com/projects/jcarousel/), but it doesn't work well with tabs: it is made to scroll with items having a fixed width, like images' thumbnails. So it is quite buggy with the variable-length text we have in tabs headers.

For now I have created a plugin for this:
I like the result of this work - Perhaps there is a way we could get some of these features baked into the real tabs API?

This should be built as an extension. It's bad UX to have so many tabs that you need to scroll.

Currently when the tabs are wider than the viewport (either because there are too many tabs, or the viewport is too small, or the user has made their browser window smaller) the jquery ui tabs wrap in a very unprofessional manner. While researching this issue I have come across many requests that the ui tabs be made scrollable (which also seems to me to be the logical thing to do), but since you don't want to do that can you at least fix the CSS so when the tabs wrap to multiple lines they don't look like the site was built by a 5th grader?
