Icons placement after dragging on desktop is often unpredictable. Its hard to place icon in desired location, it usually "snaps" to a grid next to it, if its not dropped exactly in the middle of a grid. Icons dragged out of view are placed in random positions, icons dropped under the panel cause extension of view and appearing of scrollbar at the edge of desktop. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. drag icon over the desktop 2. drop out of view or under panel 3. icon is placed in wrong position
