SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***

If you have a multiple desktop workstation, any time you select and drag icons from one desktop to another they get transposed into a single line and placed at an offset from where they were dropped. Moving them back does not restore their original arrangement, only transposes them again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have more than one desktop
2. Arrange 2 or more desktop icons into a square
2. Select and drag those icons across the dividing line between desktops
3. Observe how they change orientation

OBSERVED RESULT

The icons are sorted into a single line and then transposed.

EXPECTED RESULT

The icons' arrangement after being dropped should match their arrangement before.

The attachment was too large, so I've uploaded it to youtube instead. This shows how the icons are messed up when dragging. I attempted to also show what happens when removing a display at the end, but that instead broke the obs capture instead.

When you say "desktops" do you mean "Virtual Desktops" or "Screens"?

I ask because virtual desktops all share the same arrangement of desktop icons. Only with multiple screens can you move the icons from one to another. And if you are talking about screens rather than virtual desktops, I can reproduce the issue. So can you clarify that this is what you're reporting? Thanks!

Physical displays in the same desktop.
I am talking about a multiple monitor setup. Look at the video I posted of the job.
