Long file names in list view

This is not recent bug but something that was weird to me for a long time.

When in list view a file name is too long to fit in the lister, scroll bar appears. This scroll bar actually does not make any sense, as scrolling doesn't show the rest of the name. Scrolling causes lister to display... nothing.

I think it would be better off this scrollbar.

It scrolls to the next column. It won't scroll half a column in List mode.

Yeah, I know. But what is the purpose of scrolling just to show white space? Wouldn't it be better if in this case scrollbar just didn't appear? It's just confusing and takes one row of space. Also, if there are a lot of files and you scroll "down" (ie. right) very fast, you will end up in empty file list, so you have to scroll up (left) once.
