@Jim I propose to flood Gnome teams with this bug, as they don't read the Ubuntu input.
The bug I've filed seems to be a duplicate of this one: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562594 What is completely surprizing is that only a few people wrote there, like people don't care about how easy they work with the computer. Please people, create accounts on Gnome bugzilla and write all the above comments there too! The Gnome team must know we care about usability and our computer-lives! ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #562594 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562594 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/40872 Title: Desktop icons are allowed to overlap Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Nautilus: Confirmed Status in nautilus-elementary: Confirmed Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I have some icons with long file names. Sometimes I unintentionally end up with completely illegible icon labels and overlapping icons. I have created a snapshot of my intentionally horrific example. This problem is easy to reproduce when working with file previews (irregularly shaped images) and icons with long file names. Just create some and drag them close together, paying attention to not trigger the a file move event. I have noticed what I consider to be a related problem. When I remove a file from my desktop or a new icon is added as a result of some program adding an entry, the desktop isn't refreshed with autoarranged icons. I have looked and looked and can find no way to make this my desktop's behavior. I think this is terrible UI from a usability standpoint. I will attach the image showing the problem.
