Problem is caused by libtaglib. It helpfully opens the file for read-
write, and it is impossible to open for read-only without jumping
through unbelievable hoops :-(
Mediascanner2 has an inotify watch for IN_CLOSE_WRITE. Every time the
thumbnailer made a new thumbnail, the media scanner concludes that the
file has been modified. In turn, that causes a model update, which ends
up re-drawing the list.
It is questionable whether re-displaying the list re-positioned at the
first song is the correct behavior; it would seem more appropriate to
re-display at the current view position, if possible. But that's a
separate, unrelated issue.
James has modified the media scanner to check the modification time when
getting an IN_CLOSE_WRITE. Opening and closing for writing doesn't
update mtime unless there is an intervening call to write(2). I've
verified that this fixes the problem on the phone.
** Changed in: thumbnailer (Ubuntu)
