Description

Description

The jump bar was not previously not handling overflow per #182, but was later fixed in #186, which was a quick fix to allow for the jump bar to be scrollable.

Xcode handles it's overflow a little differently with an accordion-like effect where it condenses each item down to an icon if necessary and when items are hovered over they are expanded.

This is a small detail, but we should be handling overflow this way as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing jump bar implementation and how items are rendered. Look at how Xcode achieves the accordion effect for inspiration and implement a similar hover to expand behavior.
