Description

In the latest alpha versions of Craft 5 there is either an icon, a thumbnail, or nothing before the entry titles in entry indexes, depending on the entry type settings.

This is nice and helpful for scanning the table (although I have my reservations for asset thumbnails appearing by default, because of the delay they cause).

What could be improved is the alignment between titles when there is a mix of the above cases (icon, thumbnail, no content):

This is not merely a matter of aesthetics; it makes it harder to read the table and easy to misread the hierarchy of entries, because entries with a larger title indent appear visualy to be nested under entries with smaller or zero indent.

I'm not sure how you would want to solve this. A possible fix would be to use the largest indent for all entries in a current view.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Craft 5 entry indexes using a mix of entries with icons, thumbnails, and no preceding content. Compare title indentation and hierarchy across the table; done means titles remain consistently aligned regardless of entry type settings.
