Indeed, the bug was re-introduced. Here is what I *think* happened. Bug shows in 2.32. Evince folks make the sidepane horizontally scrollable (GtkScrolledWindow with hscrollpolicy to ALWAYS or AUTOMATIC), which in turns allows the GtkIconView to be resized accordingly.
Later people complain about this unsightly horizontal scrollbar that is always present (all the more visible thanks to bug: #990228, which puts too much padding space around the thumbnails). hscrollbar policy is set to NEVER but this has the side effect that when resizing the sidepane down, the GtkIconView used to display the thumbnails sets the minimal width and prevent its container from being sized down. Public outrage ensues. I've attached two patches to the original bug-report. The first one only fixes this issue. The second one also fixes #990228 (upstream:671691) at the same time.
