Title:
  Cancellation happens too late

Status in Canonical System Image:
  In Progress
Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm still not happy with cancellation. The thumbnailer handles
  cancellation correctly, that is, successfully cancels anything that
  hasn't been sent via dbus yet. But it doesn't work well at the UI
  level. When thumbnailing a large collection of MP3s without artwork
  and scrolling forward quickly, the requests that are scrolling off the
  top of the screen are not physically cancelled, so it takes a long
  time for the thumbnails for the visible section of the list to show
  up. In addition, more often than not, the application times out and
  shows "no artwork" images.

  Ideally, I'd like to see whatever is in the currently visible section
  to get priority.

  Need to investigate what exactly is going on here and whether there
  might be a way to mitigate the issue.
