This occurs when you at first do not lock your icons when in the left to right (horizontal setting) setting and then manually move them vertically. Then when you change the setting to list them vertically, it lists them horizontally instead. Not sure this is considered a bug but it's needs refined at the very least. You've got manual sorting turned on, which means it will try to preserve the "intent" of your manual ordering when you change these settings. In this case, those conflict with what the settings' text indicates, since you've manually arranged your icons in a top-to-bottom manner despite not using the "top to bottom" setting. If you switch to sorting by name, you'll see that these layout settings behave more like how you're expecting. |
