(In reply to Jay Philips from comment #2)
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.

No. It is not a different scenario at all. It is the very same thing, an UI
managing content overflow. A scrollbar is needed when content overflows its
container, when it doesn’t, then don’t add a scrollbar.

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

You did not seem to understand my point, at all. Why should you “fix” a UI
element by introducing another bug (i.e., forcing a scrollbar to appear when
it’s not needed)?????????? It’s simply beyond me, and I don’t want anybody to
do that. It’s simply the wrong way to do it. You have an issue with a box, you
fix the box itself.
