I cleanly installed Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon because I had a desktop icon snap to grid problem on
Linux Mint 18.0 Cinnamon and read that Cinnamon 3.2 had some improvements that looked promising.
Unfortunately I got back a more serious problem that looks like several bugs in one.
1) If I put Icons on my desktop and logout or reboot than all my icons on my desktop are gone.
If I open the default file manager and go to My Computer/Desktop than I do see the icons that should be on my desktop but are not there.
When I right click the desktop and select Desktop Settings and switch the Desktop layout from “Show desktop icons on primary monitor only” to “Show desktop icons on all monitors” or back than the Icons re appear again.
2) When I right click the desktop I can see Keep Aligned is selected but when I logout and login again and make the icons re appear by the trick I mentioned above, than most Icons are aligned but some of them moved to a different location. Some have moved to 1 row lower but some have moved from the bottom of the screen to almost the top of the screen.
On Linux Mint 18.0 Cinnamon the Keep Aligned function was hardly working at all.
On Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon the Keep Aligned function is doing a better job but some icons get moved to another undesired location.
3) When the icons are shown on the desktop and I right click the desktop and select Desktop Settings and switch the Desktop layout from “Show desktop icons on primary monitor only” to “Show desktop icons on all monitors” then the Icons only show on my Primary monitor.
My primary monitor is a LG 34” Ultra Wide-screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1080. My second screen is a LG 55” TV with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
The tool Hardinfo shows the VGA adapter as:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
The Icons are never shown on both monitors if the Desktop layout “Show desktop icons on all monitors” is selected.
The same goes if I make the LG 55” TV my Primary monitor.
The problems are fully reproducible and I can test if necessary. |
