I'm viewing a document with the side pane open, and in thumbnail mode. Once I resize the pane and make it larger, the list of thumbnails develops two columns. After this, I cannot make the pane smaller again, for that document. This is true even after I switch the side pane mode to "Index". I am using Evince 0.6.0 (from the Fedora 6 rpms).
This is a bug in gtk+, although we used a workaround to fix it in evince. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449462 Evince 0.6 is too old, try upgrading to a recent evince version and the problem will be fixed for you. In any case it's not a bug in poppler. Thanks for reporting.
