That is rather bizarre behavior. The *only* place I get the the
scrollable tabs is in portrait mode on normal-size screen
devices/emulators. In landscape mode, or in either mode on a
xlarge-size emulator, I get the drop-down list, though for the tablet,
I had to add more tabs.

Adding android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" didn't seem to help.

I'll take a shot at writing my own test app soonish, and if I can
reproduce the problem, I'll file an issue about it. It feels like that
this should be more consistent. Whether the drop-down list or the
scrollable tabs is the right answer, I can't say.
