Why is icon spacing still buggy?
Who comes up with spacing specs for OS X anyway? Standard icon view is horribly inefficient and inconsistent.
Small icon view is almost useless. If I drop my icon size to 16x16, why does it all of a sudden decide to double-space? 20x20 takes up less room than 16x16?

I would definitely consider it a bug. At 16 pixels any long names that go on two lines are abbreviated and fit on one line. At 20, and 24 pixels they are not abbreviated and the two lines are higher than the icon itself and forces the extra space. This space seems to be allowed for even if there are no long names. At 28 pixels and up the icon is as high or higher than the double line name and the spacing is returned to normal. So basically Apple allowed for this problem in the 16 pixel size but not the 20 and 24.
