Yeah, nautilus icon view does not efficiently use the available space to show files and folder properly. on the contrary it becomes difficult to work with file and folders in nautilus 3.11.91, due to inept use of available screen space in the window.

And the worst appearance is the largest icons (zoom to max); only 1 icon in a row is ridiculous.

How to reproduce:

1. launch nautilus/files
2. zoom using ctrl+'+' or ctrl+'mouse up scroll'

3. observe the folders get a lot of unused space which is unexpected behavior.

Thanks.
