opening a mounted camera folder does not show scroll bars

[nadavkav]

Binary package hint: nautilus

i plug in a (usb) camera and (an auto-mount dialog appears and i close it)
i open nautilus and click the camera's "mount" link on the left (nautilus) panel.
pictures are starting to appear on the main (right) window BUT the right scroll bar
does not show up when there are more pictures then the viewable area can hold.
(i can even see the tips of the next row of pictures but i can not scroll to it)

when i move to some other folder and come back, the scroll bar appears :-)

minor bug.

thanks for the report, could you take an screenshot of the issue?

[nadavkav (nadavkav)]

i tried several times with different users... and i can not reproduce this issue :-)
not sure if i should be happy or sad ? ;-)

as soon as i can capture some screen shot, i will.
(i was not dreaming, it happened several times)

I can reproduce this issue quite reliably.

1) Open a Nautilus window and navigate to a folder that contains enough files for the vertical scrollbar to appear.
2) Open a new tab, and navigate to a folder where there aren't enough files for the scrollbar to appear.
3) Navigate quickly back to the first tab and note that the vertical scrollbar doesn't appear.
4) Hit refresh, and the scrollbars magically appear :)

I've sent this bug upstream

[A. Walton (awalton)]

This is the same bug as #251809, in that something is wrong with the size requisition/allocation code which causes the container to sometimes not get scrollbars.
