Public bug reported:

(wishlist)

When copying/moving files and there is a name conflict, the dialogue
shows some information about the two conflicting files, e.g., name,
size, modification time, and an icon (for most file types) or thumbnail
(for images or videos).

This thumbnail uses the aspect ratio of the images/video, which might be
different for different files in the directory. Thus, when there are
multiple conflicting files in one copy/move operation, the size of the
File Conflict dialogue can change for each conflict. This means that the
buttons (e.g., "Cancel", "Skip", "Replace") change their position.

Users that resolve conflicts by clicking those buttons then have to
constantly move the mouse cursor even if they want to hit e.g. "Skip"
for some files in a row.

This problem can be solved by fixing the space taken up by the
thumbnails, that is, always use the maximum size. Of course, the
displayed thumbnail does not need to change (it should still use the
correct aspect ratio) - it just needs to be embedded in a background-
coloured box of fixed size.

Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04
