2016-10-29 12:33:11 Bill_MI description This affects 16.10 applications like Control Center and Caja in Icon or Compact view. It seems to be a general problem with viewing icons with a scroll bar present so is not easily classified. 1) Open Control Center. 2) Attempt to scroll to the bottom - it won't go there! If this doesn't create the bug it may be theme dependent. I find Control Center happens to open at a bad width. Changing the width can make the problem come and go in a very particular way. Bad widths are just before switching to a larger number of columns. For example, Control Center opens with 2 columns but is at a width just short of 3 columns - a bad place to be. Increase width to 3 columns and the problem goes away. I didn't measure the width but it's around 10 pixels or so. Caja in Icon view behaves much like Control Center but Caja in Compact view has a sensitivity to rows and vertical size. Caja also looses the ability to rename files while scrolling is broken.
