Screenshot of "Show List" with the maximum number of tabs exceeded

When too many tabs are opened, some are not directly displayed. A button with a double arrow (">>") above a number indicating the number of tabs displays to the right of the tab strip. When clicking this button, a yellow drop-down is displayed listing all tabs in that tab group.

That list unfortunately never displays more than 29 or 30 tabs in my setup, as can be seen in the attached screenshot. While that is much better than those in the tab strip, it is very useful:
1. to be able to access more tabs without having to use the scrollbar
2. to be able to get a simultaneous view of as many tabs as possible

In my setup (on HD 1080 22-inch screens), with Eclipse maximized, it would be easy to fit 10, if not 15 more tabs, without even having to use multiple columns.
