--- Comment #6 from Sebastian Ernst <er...@pleiszenburg.de> --- It just happened to me again. 25 folders, 30 files - one of each remained in its position, no obvious pattern explaining why those two and nothing else. ~70% of the icons ended up in alphabetical order in the top two rows. The remaining ~30% ended up in _random_ order in the third row (wtf?!?). Before I rebooted, there were not any icons arranged in these top three rows - they were empty. This behavior is *really* annoying. Some additional info: no other widgets on the desktop, desktop tools (the button in the top left corner of the desktop) switched off, mini programs and taskbar items locked, icon size on the desktop set to level 3 (on the slider in the options dialog counted from left to right) out of 6, which corresponds to about 32x32 pixels I believe. One, sometimes two screens. "Folder view" is only activated on the left, primary, screen at a resolution of 1920x1080. The right hand screen is "optional", I do not use it all the time - it is a 1280x1024 resolution screen, rotated 90° clockwise. Whether or not I use my second screen or turn it on/off between log-ins and/or reboots does not matter. The icon scrambling happens independently of any changes here. On another machine with only one screen all the time at 1920x1080, I can observe the same behavior. Both machines run with an NVidia graphics cards and the (latest) NVidia graphics driver. On a third machine, also running openSUSE Leap 42.2 (Plasma Framework 5.27.0, Plasma Desktop/Workspace 5.8.3), two screens permanently, folder view only switched on on the primary left screen, but with an AMD graphics card and the corresponding open source driver, I can rarely observe the scrambling behavior. I'd be more than happy to debug this and/or provide further information, though I do not know where to start. I somehow suspect that it is related to screen resolutions, mode setting and NVidia cards ... so maybe I find a way to reproduce it. I'd appreciate some help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
