SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a location set for the desktop (default is fine) with files and folders
2. In Desktop Folder Settings set Icons &gt; Sorting to &quot;Name&quot;, &quot;Size&quot;, &quot;Type&quot;, or &quot;Date&quot;
3. Either select and delete file (on the desktop, *NOT* in dolphin) or right click &gt; create new file
4. Observer that sorting no longer works, return to Desktop Folder Settings &gt; Icons and see that &quot;Sorting&quot; is now set to &quot;manual&quot;

OBSERVED RESULT
Icons &gt; Sorting option is reset to manual

EXPECTED RESULT
Sorting should stay as user set it. Upon delete the icons should shift around to fill the gap; on creating a few file/folder it should appear in the location it needs to be based on name/size/type/etc
