When entering shell (activities) position of wallpaper changes. It is extremely bad for user and disruptive. See attachment (top of hill).

Could you try disabling your custom theme?
Yes. Result is same in default theme.
And without any extensions enabled? Can you also try to change your wallpaper and detect what's the factors that trigger the problem? (It doesn't seem to happen with the default wallpapers AFAIK.)

(In reply to comment #5) > I have wallpaper that is changing over time and every single wallpaper does it. And how do you do that? Can you try with the default static wallpaper?
Those screenshots are with static. If you tell me which one is default static I can do it.
I got it! Default gnome and ubuntu does not do it. Why every other wallpaper does it?
Every single wallpaper does it except default gnome and ubuntu. I tried serveral resolutions. And nothing helps.
Are these custom files from your home folder? What are their sizes and what's your screen resolution?
Just now. I found out that even default wallpaper does it. It does not matter whick resolution I have 1366x768 a I tried every single resolution that is common. Every wallpaper I am using comes from /usr/share/backgrounds/. I "upgraded" default wallpaper a it does it too. http://i.imgur.com/JCDdB.png http://i.imgur.com/3XuwP.png
Pretty sure that's a duplicate here - we suspected Ubuntu downstream patches to Nautilus in the other bug, but that never was confirmed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 661863 ***
