You sort of said that, but I couldn't quite envision a bug where the 
widget only contained one column, so I interpreted it as only one column 
visible, the rest scrolled off because the column was too wide.

But that doesn't seem to be the case, while the case I couldn't quite 
envision seems to be what you're actually seeing. =:^(

Barring something exotic in your user config (which trying an entirely 
new user should eliminate as a possibility), that's likely a gtk bug, 
likely at the distro level due to bad interaction with some patch Ubuntu 
applied for some other reason.  Because I just don't see any other reason 
that a multi-column widget would only show one column, and I've been 
running git-pan and thus checking every few commits, and haven't seen 
such a thing, neither has anyone else reported such a thing (at least 
here, I've not checked bugzilla), so it wouldn't seem to be in upstream 
gtk or pan, or others would have reported it as well.

That's one I'd consider reporting on Ubuntu's launchpad (what they call 
their bug tracker, I think), probably after asking on various ubuntu 
forums/lists/etc, to see if anyone else is seeing it.

Strange indeed!
