video group: list view is not well adapted to left-hand users

Description

On the Video -> Display in list, clicking on the thumbnails is triggering the "select/edit mode". However, the pictures are significantly larger than in the browser list views, or in any android app that relies on the same behavior (ie the Gmail app).

The problem is, as a left-hand user, launching the video playback or opening the video groups becomes very hard, as the thumb must reach the right half of the screen - which does not feel very intuitive.

On the other hand, the browser list view (with thumbnails) does not seem to be that painful.

Expected behavior

Maybe reducing the proportions of the thumbnail would resolve this ?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Video -> Display in list mode
  2. Use your left hand
  3. Try to open a video or a group
