Unity8 scopes squeezed on Qt 5.6

I feel the problem here is that the view is just a few GUs wide on the left - it's not off-set, but rather squeezed.

Can you please have a look whether this is app-scope-specific, or a general issue for all scopes?

Right, seems not just apps.

Log file has a lot of these messages for each scope:
<Unknown File>:7:1: QML AbstractButton: Binding loop detected for property "implicitWidth"

Gerry, that's not new https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1553090

I've looked into this a bit. Seems there's a change in behaviour between Qt5.5 and 5.6 in how the Flickable's contentItem->width is initially set - and this impacts the LVWPH

Try this demo Qt5.6 and LVWPH:
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16348569/

If you use anchors.fill, the contentItem width stays at 0. But setting width explicitly yields a correct contentItem width. I presume there's a widthChanged signal somewhere that needs to be listened to.

This bug was fixed in the package unity8 - 8.12+16.10.20160527-0ubuntu1
