GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 701284
don't scroll view while images are thumbnailed

The issue is likely caused by the different dimensions of the icon and the generated thumbnail. We should probably change the icon to a placeholder image sharing the same height. The issue is quite annoying - enter a folder with many images with the intent to create a selection in the middle to delete. The constant movement interfers with creating the rubberband select and even simple selects.
I think icon view should simply have a static, homogeneous grid and instead of being flexible. Funny thing, I just run into the original bug today while triaging another icon view bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 143817 ***
