Three notes:

1. Ubuntu has addressed this in 21.04 by shipping gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-ng by default.

2. Note that you can fix this yourself in any earlier version of Ubuntu by installing that extension directly from extensions.gnome.org ( https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2087/desktop-icons-ng-ding/ ) and disabling the older version shipped with Ubuntu.

3. This is GNOME's fault, not Ubuntu's fault, so bitching at Ubuntu about it is not helpful or useful. It's not practical for Ubuntu to keep using obsolete versions of GNOME when the GNOME developers introduce regressions like this, and it's not feasible for Ubuntu to fix all of the regressions that the GNOME developers introduce.
