Bug Description

before plugging in another monitor, the desktop icons are fine, but after plugging in and unplugging a monitor, some of the icons are overlapped and do not arrange themselves properly when asked to. I think this bug will be better understood in the screenshot provided. I have found, that a reboot of the system fixes the problem, it is only after plugging in a monitor and unplugging that breaks the arrangement of the icons.
