Description Antonin Fouques 2009-06-18 17:37:29 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Hi,

When I change the resolution of the screen to a lowest resolution, some icons on the bottom of the desktop disappear. So I do a refresh of the desktop with "F5" and my icons appears but a bit too low.

I searched for the bug during the day and I think it's in the function "icon_set_position" (~ line 313) in the file .../nautilus-2.24.2/libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-container.c

The problem appears whether the icons are aligned on the grid or not.

Steps to reproduce:
1. put some icons on the bottom of the desktop, with your standard resolution
2. switch your screen to a lowest resolution (800x600 for example)
3. press F5 to refresh the desktop


Actual results:
your icons will be visible UNDER the gnome-panel.

Expected results:
the icons should appears a little bit higher, as when you move your icon to the bottom of the screen.

Does this happen every time?
I think so. but I can't confirm that.

Other information:
The problem appears sometimes on the right or the left of the screen...

Here is three screenshots to "see" the bug :
