Hello guys! I have been a big fan of Helix for the past 2-3 months now and am looking to be a long term contributor to the project, as I don't really see myself not using Helix anytime soon! 😄

Plus, I am in the process of learning Rust, and thus I decided to work on this project to help improve my skills. 👍

The thing that I am tackling in this PR is Bufferline's rendering behavior when the amount of Tabs goes beyond the width of the viewport. Here are some before and after recording. Feedback would be greatly appreciated! 😄

In the before video, you can see that we don't have visibility on tabs beyond the width of the viewport:

After the changes, we keep the visibility of tabs beyond the viewport and render tab that has it's title cut off accordingly:
