Problem persists post release of 2.24. Seriously, this is a /massive/ bug.

This exists after the release of 2.24 in ubuntu 8.10 RC - this is really lame behaviour. Since the original bug was reported in July, it'd be nice to get a fix out!
As though observe gnome's bugs, that a lot of bugs are exist in nexts releases of Ubuntu... 1 years or even though 2 years are too shortly time for fix some bugs.... lol!

Bug still existent with Ubuntu 8.10 Final...
Confirmed - still exists in 8.10 Final. Has any developer responded to this bug anywhere yet? Is it on their radar?
I think it is very likely that the issue is related to the icon view bug 552880 covering Nautilus freezes on window resizes, which also has something to do with the scroll bar visibility.
I'm also seeing this. Does this only happen under certain circumstances cause I'm amazed that this wasn't noticed/fixed earlier unless none of the developers bothered opening a new tab.
Hello. Is anyone out there working-on/looking-at this bug??? It has been reported many times at ubuntu's bugzilla. Tabs in nautilus are useless with this bug present.

How come this bug is not fixed yet? It has been reported quite a long time ago (and confirmed). This bug is really annoying.

Created attachment 126265 [details] [review] Patch to fix the bug This 3-lines patch solves the problem for me. Please review it. If you think it needs a change or that there's a better way to do it, please let me know and I'll change it
I can confirm that this patch fixes the scrollbar problem in nautilus 2.24
At long last! Now please release updated packages. Cheers for Alberto!
That patch is not really right. There is no reason we would need to create new GtkAdjustments for the GtkScrolledWindow, and that could possibly have other negative effects. However, its a nice entry point into understanding whats really going wrong. I'll play with it some to see what i can figure out.
2009-01-13 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com> * libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-container.c: (get_icon_bounds_for_canvas_bounds): When calculating bounds, don't ignore visible but unmapped items, becase the root item is unmapped with the canvas, but we want to report the same bounds independently on the canvas mapped state. This caused problems when the canvas was unmapped due to being on an invisible notebook page navigation tabs case, causing the scrollbars to become invisible. (#542396)

I don't know whether the patch was accepted and if so whether it was included in some packages, but today's update of intrepid (2.24.1-0ubuntu1 to 2.24.1-0ubuntu2) didn't solve the problem.
Patch is only in trunk, will be there in 2.26.
Photon: the package for Ubuntu Intrepid contains a backported patch. Please use this bug report instead: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/251809
Sorry, my mistake. In fact the update was the package from the proposed repo but I've forgot to restart Nautilus before testing. But now everything is working perfectly here.
