Display bugs if overlay-scrollbar is not installed

[Jan Hoffmann]

The following bug occurs if the package overlay-scrollbar is not installed:
Icon grids (the thing on the main screen of gnome-control-center or the background chooser) do have a padding on the right side which is about as large as one icon's width. The number of icon columns displayed is by one smaller than with overlay scrollbars.

I think it is best described using an image. Note that the problem does only occur, if a scrollbar needs to be displayed to fit all the icons.

It seems that somehow the saved space by the overlay scrollbar is taken into account for layout even if the overlay scrollbar is not used, which then in effect breaks the layout because there is a full-sized scrollbar.

I just tested a bit more. In fact, even if the control center window fits on the screen, there's too much padding, but this time, it's on the bottom and not on the right.

The display error isn't visible anymore on the main page of the control center after the latest updates. But it's still there in the background applet.

Thank you for your bug report, that seems rather a gnome-control-center or gtk bug than a scrollbar one, especially if it happens without scrollbars installed it can't be due to those!
