Yup, *Now* I see it =O)  latest mc, Gnome 1.0.1, GTK 1.2, Solaris 8_alpha.

Not only do I not see the text below that bottom row of icons, but a lot of 
icons below that don't show up at all.  If I slide the scrollbar up and then 
down again to bring that area back into view, *then* they're all drawn properly 
again.

I'd say that the window resize isn't correctly informing the pane how big it now 
is, so the "jump" when you click the scrollbar isn't being calculated right?  or 
maybe the bug's completely in that maths to see how many icons to draw?

Well spotted!  =O)
