<p>Glad it is of help to you! I feel you about the OCD - this is
where those patches came from ;)</p>
<p>Too bad those changes never actually made it into Thunar; I just
remembered that I already submitted those 2 patches one and half
years ago:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12126">https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12126</a></p>

<p>Either I did something wrong with the reports or development is
near dead after all.<br>
</p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<pre wrap="">Markus,
Success!
For the benefit of others similarly grieved by this behavior:
My version of thunar is slightly older than the version for which you wrote the patch (1.6.3-2 vs. 1.6.10), so I manually applied the changes in thunar_fixed_width_final.patch just to make sure everything was in the right place. Then I compiled the patched thunar and installed it.
At first I didn't notice anything different, so I did some internet searching and instinctively tried this:
$ xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /misc-fixed-item-width --create --type bool --set true
BINGO! Your patch now does its magic. Now, icons are *always* a fixed distance from one another.
Wish I could buy you a beer for this fix. Thunar was seriously aggravating my OCD with this annoying behavior. I may try thunar_truncate_final.patch at some point, but I'm perfectly happy for now.
THANK YOU.
