Glitch when switching between items in compact view.

[Ben James]

Details:

If "Compact View" mode is selected, and the item names in the current folder exceed the width of the nautilus window, when the user moves between items (up/down arrow) there is a glitch as the folder items are redrawn.

I suspect the folder contents are first rendered with the window scrolled to the right (i.e. showing the endings of all item names), then the contents are redrawn with the window scrolled to the left (i.e. showing the start of the all item names) - there need only be one rendering (the latter).

--------------------------------------------------------------

To reproduce:

 1) Create a new folder and open using nautilus.
 2) Create two or more files with names that exceed the width of the window.
 3) Ensure the window is scrolled to the left (i.e. the start of the file names can be read).
 4) Highlight one of the items.
 5) Switch between items (up/down keys).
