Title:
Desktop icon alignment `floor()`s instead of `round()`
Status in Nautilus:
Unknown
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When dragging to arrange icons on the desktop, there is an invisible
grid that the icons get snapped to. The x-axis has larger distance
between grid lines and this bug is more visible in that direction.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Take an icon
2. Drag a few pixels to left
3. Release icon
Expected behavior:
- You are more or less still in the same position, so the icon should
go back to where it was before dragging
Observed behavior:
- The icon jumps a long way to the left
You can recreate this with "one pixel up" as well, where the icon
jumps up, although not as dramatically as with the x-axis. The
behavior is the same regardless of the icon size.
I am reporting this as a bug, because it is highly annoying to move an
icon to more or less where you want, only to find it jumps back. I
think the correct behavior would be for the icon to snap to the
closest grid lines, rather than the one on its left/up.
