Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

When a disk full of pictures (for example) is inserted and viewed in Nautilus, it generates previews one-by-one. These previews are slightly larger than the placeholder icon, so as the previews are generated, higher rows will expand and push off lower rows. This makes it impossible to scroll to the bottom of the list, because the bottom keeps receding as the upper rows expand. To fix this, the behavior of Nautilus should be modified to preserve the scroll position relative to the selected file, not relative to the top of the list.
