Description Federico Mena Quintero 2004-12-16 22:09:21 UTC 
If the bookmarks list or the file list have the focus, it would be nice to have
the left/right arrow keys switch among them.  Be careful to flip them around for
the RTL case.

JRB pointed out that this would break horizontal scrolling, but we should
probably switch the bookmarks list to using ellipsization and disable horizontal
scrolling altogether.

Proposed patch

The attached patch sets the X scroll policy to GTK_POLICY_NEVER for both the file and the shortcut tree view. This shouldn't be a problem as you can resize the window and the panes using the keyboard.

Updating version to 2.10.x.
