Description Martin Bergner 2006-02-23 10:28:33 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When you drag icons from some folder to the desktop, the icons are not aligned
in a grid even if you have auto-alignment set in the context menu

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open some folder in Nautilus
2. drag an icon in the vicinity of an existing on and place it maybe a few pixel
to the left
3. the icon is surely not aligned correctly


Actual results:
The file is placed exactly where I wanted it to be and not on the grid

Expected results:
Align the icons properly on the grid

Does this happen every time?
yes

Yes, we're using another grid for drag layout than for "clean up by name" layout, which may be a bad idea. We also have multiple related issues ATM, one of it being discussed in
