BUG: Improving the Problem Finder's Suggested Tags Section

Current Behavior

When searching in the Problem Finder, the suggested tags get cropped by the screen and all options are not fully visible. This can be frustrating for users who need to access all the available tags to refine their search results. The current implementation does not provide a seamless user experience, as users are forced to scroll horizontally to view all the options, which can be time-consuming and inconvenient.

Expected Behavior

We can have a fixed size for the suggested tags section, and make it scrollable. This would allow users to easily view all the available tags without having to scroll horizontally. The suggested tags section would be designed to be responsive, adapting to different screen sizes and devices. This would ensure that users can access all the available tags, regardless of the device they are using.

Replication

To replicate the issue, follow these steps:

Open the Problem Finder by clicking on the "Problem Finder" button in the "Other collections" section on the OmegaUp website.
Search for a word like "a" in the search bar.
Observe that the suggested tags get cropped by the screen and are not fully visible.

Problem

The current implementation of the Problem Finder's suggested tags section is not user-friendly. The tags get cropped by the screen, making it difficult for users to access all the available options. This can lead to frustration and a poor user experience.
