You have been subscribed to a public bug: By default, Ubuntu installs the Gnome extension "Desktop Icons" [1] (by rastersoft).
Unfortunately, this extension is now unmaintained, is problematic, and leads to several bugs, including but not limited to Bug #1901150 and Bug #1813441. The same author has created, and continues to maintain, the far superior "Desktop Icons NG (DING)" [2]. It solves a number of problems including the two aforementioned bugs. It's possible to disable, but not uninstall, "Desktop Icons", and then to install "Desktop Icons NG (DING)". I did this a while ago with great results. If Canonical replaces the former with the latter, not only will Ubuntu be using a better desktop manager, but also it will be able clear all related bugs at a stroke. This is a simple, cheap, quick and effective solution that will let the devs concentrate on more important tasks. Please give this serious consideration.
