The right-hand panel has the scroll bar on the right, the film strip has
the scrollbar along the bottom - damned inconsistent I say!

BTW - the Folder panel doesn't have a horizontal scroll bar. If you have
long folder names stacked many deep then you're up the creek.  Although you
can drag the edges to widen the panel(s).  I have played with all the
panels on mine over quite some time to get them optimised and neither eat
into main image space nor leave too much wasted background.  Incidentally,
you can hide the top/left/right/bottom panels either with the little arrows
on the edges, or temporarily with Tab or Shift-Tab.  Or you can hit F to go
full-screen on the selected image.  Or use a 2nd screen, or.... (endless
possibilities)
