bug in hscrolled-clist

[Thomas Niederreiter <hor ork rz fh-muenchen de>]

Hello,

I think I found a bug in GTK 1.2.x (tested with GTK 1.2.1 and 1.2.3)
and I hope somebody knows a workaround for that..

I do create a scrolled window and put an clist into it.
(no matter if if do set the scroll-policy to automatic or always - its the
same effect)

The clist got a title bar...

-----------------------------------------------------------
| item1   | item2                                         |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| list      entries..                                     |

Looks fine here..
Now I add a really long entry that does not fit in the column on screen...

|                                                         |
| list      entry that is really long and should create a |
|                                                         |

Now there should the horizontal scrollbar work to let me the the rest
of the entry. But it does not..
The scrollbar only does work when the TITLE-bar-strings are clipped from
the screen. 
So if I move the "item2" in the above example to the othermost right
the scrollbar allows me to scroll exactly as far until the "item2"-string
is readable on the screen. No matter what and how long entries are there
in its column.

I think thats a pretty hard bug, because it makes the horizontal scrollbar
virtually useless.
Anybody knows a way to add "long" list-entries that are handled properly?
(I dont want to add a "dummy" column to the end..because then the hscrollbar
would be displayed ALWAYS..even when there is nothing to look at...)

Thank you,

Thomas
