I had this bug in 18.10, but it's gone in 19.04 with move from nautilus to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons which brings its own issues.

Please assign to appropriate package. Thanks! Using external monitors with the gnome desktop behaves unexpected in a few ways. One is, that the alignment of screens limits, where icons can be placed on that screens: My external monitor is higher than the internal screen of my laptop. I have aligned the screens at the bottom. This makes the bottom part of the (external, higher) screen unusable for placing icons. This is probably best seen on the attached screenshot. Thanks for caring!
