Xubuntu Feisty. What I wanted to tell is that the feature ACTUALLY 
WORKS. When I do the same thing in Windows Explorer the scrolling 
automatically happens when I happen to type a file name that is not 
within the window viewport. That behavior does not occur in thunar. 
Imagine that I have file names with the letters A through Z. But the 
current directory listing shows only filenames from A-F.i.e, the G-Z 
part is on the other side of the view which can be accessed by scrolling 
horizontally. To select a file with a name "Zulu" I start typing "Zulu" 
and the file "Zulu" *does actually get selected* (I ascertained this by 
pressing the return key and the file opened). However the horizontal 
scrolling does not happen automatically. To reproduce this, do the 
following:

1) Switch to Compact List View (Turn off settings "Sort folders before 
files", "Show thumbnails", "Text beside icons")
2) Traverse to a folder with enough files such that a horizontal 
scrollbar appears.
3) Type a file name (that actually exists on the folder) that is not 
present within the thunar window viewport.

Hope this helps.
