Wide controls in the toolbars
So...
all these values seem rather specific.
They are all hardcoded, aren't they?
What about putting some of them on the gimprc file, even if there is
no UI to get to it? So we could study some different values for them,
maybe getting to more pleasant defaults.
The last comment on the bug says:
"Closing as FIXED since we can't do much about that: if the user
insists on having tool options in the toolbox, she either
has to make it wider or live with that scrollbar."
This should not be blamed on the user since it is the default setting
on the GIMP. I guess people could use the program through months,
even years, without realising that the tool options could be
dettached from there.

English is one of the "shortest" languages. The same string in
English is shorter than in Russian and (as I remember) German is
even "fatter". But the problem isn't only in string widths. The
problem is in the width of the controls.
The problem can be solved by proper formatting and positioning of
the controls. Look at the text toolbox (Windows, Russian). All the
edit controls are aligned right to the widest control caption. Ok,
it looks good. By why on the Earth the colour selector, the shift
edit and the line spacing edit are 335 points width each? The
units selection control is 125 points width. The font size control
is 227 points width. I think it's some mistake.
The checkboxes are aligned left to the left position of the edit
controls. If they would be aligned to the left of the window along
with the narrowing of the edit controls, the window could be 2
times narrower without any changes in GTK.

Given that the bug is marked as FIXED? I doubt it. It won't show
up in any of the bugzilla queries which people generally sue to
generate such lists.
If you feel that resolution is incorrect, you should re-open the
bug, explaining what the problem is. Or better yet, open a new
bug, referencing that one.
Cheers,
Dave.
