Header sections anchors should be documented better

[Dubstar_04]

The header sections should be flickable to allow unlimited actions to be added and scrolled though.

The source [1] comments state "It is strongly recommended to limit the number of sections to two or three." but this is very limiting and should allow more flexibility.

Currently if there are too many actions in the header for the page width part of the component is clipped and the actions cannot be used. see attached screenshot.

This should have landed long ago.

Maybe a regression? I will let timp comment

Turns out if you add width: parent.width to the section it becomes scrollable.

This should be included in the documentation [1] and this marked as a bug with the sdk docs rather than the ui toolkit?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Right. The implicitWidth is the width that is required to show all sections without scrolling. If the width (or left and right anchors) are set for the Sections, scrolling will be automatically enabled when needed. I need to update the documentation.
