To reproduce:
(1) Launch Nautilus
(2) Choose File/New Folder
(3) Open the new folder from step 2.
(4) Choose File/New Folder again so you now have a single icon in a folder.
(5) Choose "Lay out/manually" to get manual layout
(6) Drag the icon to the edge of the window, so that it's still inside the
window but just slightly overlapping the right or bottom. Release it there.

Note that the icon "pops back" to the top-left corner of the window, instead of
staying where you dropped it.

This is closely related to bug 42068. Dropping the icon at the edge of the window
causes scroll bars to be drawn, which through some twisty gtk shenanigans ends
up calling size_allocate on the icon container, which causes it to call
relayout, which recomputes the scroll region and throws away the unused edge
space, ending up with the icon at the top left.

Also see bug 42007, which is in this same area.

Verified that the icon stays where I drop it.
