If you scroll to the end (bottom) the packet list continues to show the latest packet as more and more are coming in. In the WS 2 preview the last displayed packet is shown and you must manually scroll down to see all new packets from the previous time you scrolled to the bottom.
Presumably the scroll bar shows up in the preview as well (it shows up in a Qt build from the trunk), and the only issue is whether "Automatic scrolling in live captures" works (as it is in the GTK+ version, including current trunk builds) - it's set, but doesn't seem to be working in a built-from-the-trunk Qt version.
Please file this as a bug on the Wireshark Bugzilla.
