Bug Description

Hello,

some time ago, I made a post on the bug tracker about a possible bug in the virtual libraries. Whe creating many virtual libraries, they go "out of screen" and can only be selected with the arrow keys. See here: https://youtu.be/0rH8AXPx9dY

When I first posted it, it quickly got dismissed, but I can understand it, to some extent, but I find it rather annoying that there is no scrollbar to scroll in the virtual library tab. Yes I know, I can make the virtual libraries show up as tabs, but it takes a really long time to go through them and find the correct virtual library.

Is there a way th make the virtul libraries visible or can this be regarded as a bug?

Sincerely,
WorldTeacher

Click the Virtual libraries button, and choose Quick select virtual
library. That is the best way to select a VL when you have large numbers
of them.

That may work on a laptop or tower pc, but I'm readijg on my windows tablet, and the virtual keyboard won't work every time. Is it really that time consuming to add a scrollbar?

yes, menus dont have scrollbars in Qt. I would essentially need to write
a whole custom menu widget just for you.
