It seems that Dolphin is incorrectly calculating vertical spacing in the Icons view when the grid layout is set to sort as columns, with the text on the side. When additional information is selected for view, the amount of vertical spacing becomes very large, even if grid spacing is set to "None".

Steps to reproduce:

- Go to Settings -> Configure Dolphin
- Under the View Mode page, select the Icons tab.
- Set the icon size to be between 16 and 64 pixels.
- Under Grid, set Arrangement to "Columns", and Grid Spacing to "None". Click OK to close the dialog.
- Go to View -> Additional Information and make sure no fields are selected.
- Select all icons within the view to observe spacing. They should be right next to each other with no spacing.
- Go back to View -> Additional Information and select one or more fields.
- Select all icons again and notice how the vertical spacing is larger than normal, even though grid spacing is set to "None".

The calculation used to position the icons vertically needs to be fixed. This problem could prevent users from being able to select the spacing they want and have it function as expected. If the user doesn't want any spacing between items, it shouldn't happen.
