--- Comment #2 from Jay Philips <philipz85@hotmail.com> ---
(In reply to Adolfo Jayme from comment #1)
1) when the scrollbar is thin (e.g., in elementary), the boxes are stretched
anyway

In most themes the scrollbar is not thin (e.g. windows 7 aero, ubuntu unity,
mac os x aqua), so thin scrollbars are the exception.

2) it just doesn’t make sense to have inactive widgets in UI. Let me quote
bug 86050 comment 1: “… it would be very sophisticated if the scrollbar
would not be there at the beginning if there is nothing to scroll…”

Yes that makes sense in a text field where the contents of the field are
modified by the user, but this scenario is different.

So, if you don’t want the boxes to be wider than normal, then the boxes
*themselves* should be fixed, instead of relying in having an independent
element hiding the bug as a side effect!

The wider boxes is an effect of having or not having the scrollbars, so always
having the scrollbars is the correct fix, IMHO.
