Bug Description

The selected tags show up at the start of the search field as shown below. However, the only way to scroll through them is by using the touchpad horizontal scroll (no mouse scrolling and horizontal mouse scroll is very rare, and vertical scroll for touchpad doesn't work either). We can also explore adding mouse drag to scroll through the selected tags.

I am also of the view that there are too many ways of conveying the selected options (the cell itself, the search field and the list view). While I think that on mobile the cell would probably not be visible when editing the cell, on desktop 3 is too many imo.

How to Reproduce

Open a grid cell with multi-select property
Select multiple tags or a few tags with long option names
Observe that the only way to scroll through the tags is via a horizontal mouse swipe

Expected Behavior

The tags should be easily scrollable

Operating System

Fedora Linux 36

AppFlowy Version(s)

v0.0.5.3
