Another lazy way around this is to do Alt-F2, then type in R. Might be easier than creating a folder then deleting it.

The missing icons aren't invisible, it's like they're not in the folder. Clicking on the empty space where they should be does nothing. Mousing over the empty space does nothing. See attached screenshot. As you can see, there are many missing. Not consistently reproducible, but frequent. This isn't great info, I know. Let me know what else I can provide.
