This was working properly not that long ago. Zooming in within a regular nautilus window works fine, but the desktop thumbnail resize does not. Icons (vector) resize fine, it's just images. I looked around and found the previous bugs about this, it seems like its supposed to be fixed by now. I think its a regression, unless there's some setting? I already tried removing the .thumbnails folder and restarting nautilus.
