Bug Description

With a secondary monitor on the left, a mouse highlight on the desktop creates a slight selection box on the primary one, after the Ubuntu dock. If this isn't clear, see the attached screenshot.

Expected: Only see the selection *where I selected*.
Actual: Selection appears slightly on the primary monitor

Also tested with all shell extensions disabled.

Hmm, this was declared fixed last year in https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/issues/76

Please open a new upstream bug at https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/issues

Also upstream issue #151 is claimed to be fixed:

https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/commit/3b70620a

That commit made it to Ubuntu in 21.10.

@Logan: Is the issue still present in Ubuntu 21.10 and/or jammy?
