            Bug ID: 359570
           Summary: Icons cannot be positioned freely on desktop (folder
                    view), snap to grid instead
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.4.3
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Desktop Containment
          Assignee: se...@kde.org
          Reporter: li...@daniel-bauer.com

Icons placed on the desktop in folder view cannot be moved and positioned
freely where I want to have them, they always snap to some grid position. 

In earlier versions I could select if I want to layout them in a given grid or
position them where I want, now there is no such setting anymore.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put an icon on desktop (i.e. move a menu-item, firefox, out of the menu and
copy it on the desktop screen in folder view) 
2. try to move that icon to an arbitrary position. It will automatically move
the the next grid-position.
3. try to move it just a little bit up/down/left/right and leave it there - it
snaps back to the grid position


Expected Results:  
the icon stays where I placed it

No doubt that the KDE programmers have very ordered, beautiful and perfect
desktops on their machines, but I want my own, even if you think yours is
better... 

This is a very, very old feature that was always available since I can
remember, and it is really missing now.
