Title:
  vector graphic thumbnails blurry in dash on high-dpi screen

Status in Unity:
  Triaged
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Thumbnails used in the dash are blurry for small svg images. In
  contrast to that the previews in the dash are specifically rendered
  for the dash and show in correct resolution.

  Nautilus is setup to display icons in 100% zoom level (default). In
  Nautilus or on the desktop, svg thumbnails of 24×24px svg images are
  smaller than the maximum available thumbnail area and are displayed in
  screen pixels (which is very tiny, could also be a bug).

  It appears the Unity dash looks up if a thumbnail exists for a specific file in ~/.cache/thumbnails/normal, chooses that thumbnail and stretches it to the maximum available thumbnail area in the dash.
  This makes vector graphics appear like they where raster graphics and look very blurry.

  Ubuntu: 14.04
  unity:          7.2.2+14.04. amd64
