Description erusan 2014-05-01 20:44:05 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1) In icon view, open folder with many images (without cached thumbnails)
2) Quickly scroll to arbitrary location in folder
3) Wait as thumbnails are generated

Result: The folder contents are moved down as each row is populated with a thumbnail.

Expected results: Icons remain exactly in place as thumbnails are generated.

This makes navigating the folder difficult. It also makes clicking on items difficult until the entire folder is populated with thumbnails, since the target can move rapidly, causing the user to mis-click.

The same behavior does not occur in list view.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

(Hopefully this will be fixed by replacing the current "canvas" icon view with a "grid" icon view using the new GtkFlowBox. There is ongoing work on that, as per bug 552093.)
