Nautilus GTK overlay scrollbars never appear at small window sizes

[Daniel van Vugt]

GTK overlay scrollbars never appear at small window sizes in zesty (but works in xenial).

Test case:
  1. Launch "Files" (nautilus binary)
  2. Navigate to a folder with lots of files/icons.
  3. Resize the window as small as it will go.
  4. Slowly move the mouse so the cursor enters from the right side of the window.

Expected: Overlay scrollbars appear
Observed: Overlay scrollbars never appear (unless the window is bigger)

not only that but past a certain size it doesn't even rearanges the files, so a lot of files are not in the view, probably that's why the scroolbar don't appear because they are not in view, it's like the view is clipped

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

In that case this might not be an "overlay" scrollbars bug but just a Nautilus bug.

Confirmed the same bug in Unity7.

It's a nautilus regression that affects zesty. Works in xenial though.

Typoed the bug number in the upload, but I think the new nautilus (3.20.4) fixes this.
