Tabs in css - line break when page limit is exceeded

Question

I’m doing CSS tabs. However, when it comes to a certain number, it breaks to the bottom line. I wanted you to stay on line at all times, even if you’re not on the page.

.tabs {
    list-style: none;
    text-align: left;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    padding-left: 5px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    background: rgba(204, 204, 204, .2);
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
  }

  .tabs::after {
    position: absolute;
    content: "";
    width: 100%;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(170, 170, 170, .3);
    z-index: 1;
  }

  .tabs::before {
    z-index: 1;
  }

  .tabs li {
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0 2px;
    padding: 6px 15px;
    border: 1px solid #AAA;
    border-bottom: none;
    background: #ECECEC;
    cursor: pointer;

    position: relative;
    z-index: 0;
  }
  
  .tabs li::before,
  .tabs li::after {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: -1px;
    width: 6px;
    height: 6px;
    content: " ";

    border: 1px solid rgba(170, 170, 170, .3);
  }

  .tabs li::before {
    left: -6px;
  }

  .tabs li::after {
    right: -6px;
  }

  .tabs li.active {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    color: rgb(31, 31, 31);

    z-index: 2;
    border-bottom-color: #ffffff;
  }

  .tabs li {
    border-top-left-radius: 6px;
    border-top-right-radius: 6px;
  }

  .tabs li:before {
    border-bottom-right-radius: 6px;
    border-width: 0 1px 1px 0;
  }

  .tabs li:after {
    border-bottom-left-radius: 6px;
    border-width: 0 0 1px 1px;
  }

  .tabs li::after {
    font-family: "Font Awesome\ 5 Free";
    font-weight: 100;
    font-size: 7pt;
    position: absolute;
    content: "\f410";
    top: -1px;
    right: 2px;
    color: red;
  }
  .tabs li {
    border-top-right-radius: 0px;
  }

<ul class="tabs">
  <li class="tabs-item active">Geral</li>

I was able to solve your problem, through this community response in English: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/679804/prevent-wrapping-of-containers-span-or-div

In this sense, since their answer is in English, I decided to answer instead of signaling duplicate.
