Description Julien Olivier 2004-12-06 10:43:35 UTC
I've taken some screenshots to illustrate this bug:
http://toufle.net/julien/nautilus/

As you can see on the shots, when you reduce the width of a Nautilus window, if
the size of the window gets smaller than the size of the menu, the vertical
scrollbar disappears and some of the folders then get unreachable.

Weird but true. Confirming.
Comment 2 Chris Lahey 2004-12-20 19:37:40 UTC
This looks like a widget packing bug. to me  The window is becoming smaller than
the menu is requesting, but there's a container widget somewhere in the
hierarchy that is giving its children less than they request.  I would examine
the widget hierarchy here and looks at settings like expand and shrink on table
insertions, things like that.

Comment 4 Christian Neumair 2005-07-11 19:06:08 UTC
The problem is that Nautilus passes the wrong arguments when packing widgets
into the window's main table.
