See difference between http://david.woodhou.se/oldfolderlist.jpeg and http://david.woodhou.se/newfolderlist.jpeg I used to be able to scroll the folder list over to the right a little and avoid wasting the space down its left-hand side. Now I don't seem to be able to do that.
Seems like an issue in upstream's codebase. We should probably push this back up to them.
It's because of the second patch in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323402 When I remove this line, then all works fine. Unfortunately I'm not sure how to make work both things together. Maybe Matt could help?
Good catch, Milan. I've reopened that upstream bug to make them aware of the side-effect that David points out, which they may consider acceptable. This is upstream's call so I'm closing this bug. For further updates please see: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323402
