Please describe the problem:
You cannot see the text you are renaming.

Here is the window before the renaming attempt:

Here is what happens when you press F2:

Here is what we would "expect" to see when renaming (what does not currently
happen):

Steps to reproduce:
1. make nautilus work in "list view"
2. press F2 while a file/folder is selected, or use the right-click menu, or use
the top menu, to access the "rename" action
3. try to figure out what you are typing


Actual results:
The horizontal scrollbar is pushed to the right, and you only see the "blank
box" telling you you can type, but you cannot see the text you are replacing,
because it is hidden by the scrolling.

Expected results:
Do not scroll. Keep the window aligned to the extreme left.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
This bug was there for as long as I can remember (gnome 2.4 and lower)
