Thank you for your bug. What do you mean? That when using the icon mode the selection does cycle? What would you expect there? Going on the next line or on the current one start?

Going to the next line. I attached an explaining screen - pressing "->" should move selection, as the red line shows.

By analogy, pressing "<-" in the first row should move to last row in the previous line.

All file managers I can think of (all Windows versions, Thunar in XFCE, KDE's one) behave that way - it would be nice of Ubuntu to catch up :)

I meant:

pressing "<-" in the first column should move to last column in the previous line.
