(In reply to Thomas Lendo from comment #9)
Most people are used to read LTR or RTL, not top to bottom or reverse.
The contents of the tabs are ordered top to bottom in columns.
Also there is much more horizontal than vertical space.
That all depends on how the controls are organized. Many tabs have extra wide
controls for no reason (e.g. Character dialog's hyperlink and highlighting
tabs, nearly every tabs in the Paragraph dialog)
Using a scrollbar would be a usability disaster. A vertical layout should only
be an option for very few (~handful) points.
Cant say i agree with you, as when you have content that is larger than the
available space, scrollbars are common and useful (e.g. browser, file manager).
Alternatively you would have to have more vertical tabs, but you wouldnt be for
scrolling within the vertical tabs.
