Thumbnail Preview Automatic Resize
I'm not quite sure how to name this thread, so hopefully my description makes more sense.
I've been using 7 since its official release, and I'm on my third separate installation after reformat. All reformats were as a result of normal toying around. Basically, in each and every installation of 7 x64 I've installed, video/image thumbnail previews consistently behave unreliably.
Specifically, under normal operation thumbnails are generated, and then Windows automatically removes the dead space around the previews. For instance, when a series of 16x9 previews are generated, Windows would remove the empty space around each thumbnail.
My problem is that Windows consistently and randomly stops removing the empty space around the previews. One second all my previews will be nicely grouped together with no large spaces of empty white between them. The next second, literally, Windows stops behaving well.
I've searched high and low for anyone else that has seen this problem, but I've either not used the right search terms, or nobody has seen it but me. (Probably the former.)
I wondered if anyone else has seen this quirk, and if so, has a cause been identified?
