Vertical scrollbar for the separate tabs window

When using the separate tabs window in stack mode, sometime you can open more tabs than fit in the docked window. One possible solution is to add a vertical scrollbar to scroll through the windows:

The following style adds ScrollViewer with vertical scroll bar visibility set to Auto, i.e. it is visible only when tabs don’t fit without scrolling:

<Style TargetType="TabsStudio:TabsHost" BasedOn="{StaticResource DefaultTabsHostStyle}">
  <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TabsStudio:TabsHost}">
        <ScrollViewer HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled"
                         VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto"
                         Focusable="False">
          <Grid>
            <Rectangle Width="{TemplateBinding Width}"
                       Height="{TemplateBinding Height}"
                       Fill="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>
            <ContentPresenter/>
          </Grid>
        </ScrollViewer>
      </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
</Style>
