** Description changed:

- When the user performs a dash search and right clicks a result, the Preview is always rendered with scale factor 1.0.
- We should fix the scaling.
+ [Impact]
+ When scaling is set to a value different to 1.0 and the user performs a dash search and right clicks a result, the Preview is always rendered with scale factor 1.0.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 1. From Unity Control Center -> Displays -> Change the monitor scaling to somewhat
+    different from 1.0 (might be both bigger and smaller, your choice).
+ 2. Open the dash, [search something], right click over a result
+ 3. The preview items should respect the previously set monitor scaling
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ This is a big change that involved lots of changes in the unity dash code, although we
+ didn't notice any regression due to this change. At the contrary we improved a lot the old code we worked on. Although it's still possible that some component of the dash previews might be hidden/distorted or not shown as it used to be.
