Bug Description

Hi,

This bug started to happen like 1-2 months ago, and as I remember I didn't do any customizations like installing any external plugins and etc, but I have some stuff already like custom icons, shell, theme... but it worked normaly before.

What is happening is that when I select more than 1 file on desktop, no matter which file it is (folder, .txt, image.. anything), and when I try to move around desktop from one place to another, it will move only 1 file and not the rest. So, unable to move selected files on desktop (drag and drop using cursor's rectangle). Its simple issue, no need for video or screenshot.

I can confirm this issue.

Using ctrl-click to select multiple icons also results in only one being moved. The moved icon retains its selection and the other icons are de-selected.
