There are another couple of issues with desktop icon placement.

1. Put your desktop icons on right edge (i.e. just like MacOSX default)
or bottom edge when icon_zoom_level is 100%. Now increase the zoom level
in File Management Preferences to 150%. Icons on right and bottom edge
are now off-screen.

2. Let's assume you have only default icons (Computer, Home, Trash) on
your desktop. Right click on desktop (everywhere, even right edge) and
choose Create Something (a folder or a document). The new items appears
below Trash icon, not where you clicked. Of course removing the initial
assumption the issue is still present: I did it just to have a
reference.


Yet know as bugs?
