Nautilus loses scrollbars upon switching tabs

[Ian MacGregor]

Bug:
Nautilus loses the scrollbar when changing to a tab that has a scrollbar.

Expected:
I expected the scrollbars in Nautilus tabbed ui to remain when switching tabs.

Reality:
Nautilus loses the scrollbar when changing to a tab that should have a scrollbar.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Nautilus.
2) Go to a directory which has enough folders/files that you get a scrollbar.
3) Click File > New Tab.
4) Go back to the previous tab and look for your scrollbar.

Even without the scrollbar I tried scrolling the mouse wheel and scrolling doesn't work.

System:
$ lsb_release -rd

This continues to happen opening subsequent tabs as well. I've got Nautilus with 5 tabs open, only the last one has scrollbars.

Joel,
Yeah, I get the same thing with subsequent tabs, thanks for confirming this.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. This bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 296209. Please feel free to report any other bugs you find.

This bug IS NOT a duplicate of bug #296209

This new bug has nothing to do with cameras, and scrollbars do not reappear when changing folders.

Please take the duplicate status off of this bug as it is NOT a duplicate, it is a valid and separate bug.

Actually, if you look at the GNOME bug that's linked from bug #296209, you'll notice that this is indeed a duplicate. The GNOME bug deals with scrollbars in general not appearing when they should, and even gives a quick workaround - push F5 to get the scrollbars back.
