I open this bug based on a discussion on the forum https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/when-i-drag-a-drop-an-icon-to-the-desktop-the-icon-appears-in-the-left-side-of-the-desktop/25478

As you can read in the discussion this bug affects Ubuntu Mate 20.04 and 22.04 .

The problem is that when an icon (file or folder) is dropped on the desktop it is automatically placed in a fixed location on the left side of the desktop, it is never placed where I drop it. As it is fully explained in the forum discussion, that happens even if the "Keep Aligned" option is unchecked.
When you have many widows opened it is really annoying to go to look for the icon.

There should be an option to change this behavior and leave the icon to be placed exactly when it is dropped.
