Bug#1021588: Please apply the proposed fix (revert) for hi-dpi thumbnailing, until glib is properly fixed

[Amr Ibrahim]

Package: nautilus
Version: 43.0-1
Severity: important

Hello,

I have a 4K monitor with 175% fractional scaling.

Nautilus 43 broke hi-dpi thumbnailing [1], and goes into an infinite loop trying to create x-large and xx-large thumbnails, consuming CPU forever.

So, please apply the proposed fix (revert) [2] until glib is properly fixed [3] and nautilus too [4].

Fedora [5] and openSUSE [6] already applied the proposed revert.
