How to reactivate rapid tab scrolling in Numbers 15.3?

I have in a spreadsheet in which many tabs (>100) are are listed in a band across the top of the spreadsheet. In the earlier version of Numbers (15.1), I was able to use the left/right arrows at the top right to rapidly scroll until I found the tab I needed to access. The latest version (15.3) no longer allows that rapid access, so I have to click multiple times to shift to the tab in the band that I want to access. Can someone tell me how to reactivate that function? MacBook Pro 13" M1 2020 using Golden Gate OS27.0

Hi Applesup20jan20,

Try a two finger swipe left or right on the Tab Bar (band across the top of the spreadsheet).

Regards,

Ian.

Single finger swipe worked, but 2-finger swipe didn't. I had tried what I thought were all possible combinations using CTRL, OPT, CMD, Shift with arrows in upper right corner. Many thanks!
