just a screenshot

1. Open a pdf
2. open side pane on thumbnail view
3. drag the "middle-bar" to the right to view multiple columns of thumbnails (I did this thinking that the thumbnails would become bigger)
4. Now I can't go back to one single column, the side pane is locked to, in my case, three columns wide using most of the window space.

And this happens every time I open that file.
I tried with another pdf file and it happened again, now I have two files I can't use the side pane.

Which version of gtk+ do you have? I believe this is a gtk bug that was recently fixed as I can not reproduce the bug on my fedora 17 machine.

Easy steps to reproduce it with master (>3.6):

1. Open a document with several pages.
2. Maximize it.
3. Open the sidebar (Thumbnails)
4. Try to make the sidebar as wide as possible.
   At this point, you will see one column of thumbnails, a lot of white
   space in the sidebar and very thing page view.
5. Navigate to any page using the scrollbar of the sidebar
   Now, the Thumbnails are spread to use multiple columns.

From now on, you can not make the sidebar thinner.  The only solution is
to close the document (or evince) and open it again.
