Sergio, I went back through the merge request in more detail and have
tried these steps :

- Download the patch code from the merge request
- Installed Meson
- Deleted the folder 
($HOME/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano)
- Unzipped the patch and built the patch with Meson/Ninja (it did recreate the 
local directory)
- Rebooted
- Went into tweaks and re-enabled the extension

After all this I did not notice any change in behavior.  The problem is
very easy to replicate in Ubuntu 20.04.  Just place a simple text file
on the desktop.  Double click to open it and then change the file.  When
you hit save it breaks/hides all the icons and you must reboot or hit
ALT+F2 then R to fix.  Let me know if I missed any steps or if there is
anything else I can do to help with the investigation...

Title:
  Some desktop icons disappear

Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons:
  Unknown
Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  OS: Ubuntu 20.04
  GNOME: 3.36.2
  Extension: 3.36.2

  Sometimes, some icons in my Desktop folder just don't appear on the
  desktop. The missing icons aren't invisible, it's like they're not in
  the folder. Clicking on the empty space where they should be does
  nothing. Mousing over the empty space does nothing. See attached
  screenshot. As you can see, there are many missing.

  Not consistently reproducible, but frequent.

  This isn't great info, I know. Let me know what else I can provide.
