CXTPTabClientWnd arrows and close icon

   I see this with our app and with the CJ RibbonMDISample.

As I am opening new windows the left and right arrows and x display briefly on the far right of the tab window and then go away. If I resize the frame the graphics don't update correctly. I can move over the the graphics on the far right and they display while I hover over.

I have a hard time predicting when they will or will not display. I have set the xtpWorkspaceShowCloseTab in our app (it isn't set in the sample) and that doesn't help either. But at least I get a close icon on each tab.

Basically if the user has a lot of windows opened so that there isn't enough room to display all the tabs, the user cannot tell just by looking that there is a way to scroll the tabs left or right unless the user just starts fishing around with the cursor on the right edge and then sees an arrow display.

Is this a bug or a feature? If it is a feature, how can I make them display permanently if there are tabs that are out of view?
