You have been subscribed to a public bug:
when I right click and create a new folder on the desktop and then rename the
default "untitled folder" beginning with a stop for example. .house then click
outside for the new name to take effect the default name still shows instead of
the new name.
right clicking on the desktop and unchecking keep aligned causes the name to
update and show the .house name.
I thought this was just a refresh issue but I then noticed this strange
behaviour
dragging the .house folder from the desktop to another folder results in
the new .house folder showing up in the destination folder but there is
still a .house folder remaining on the desktop when the desktop .house
folder location is checked it shows that it is in the destination folder
and not on the desktop
The folder should have been moved from the desktop to the destination
folder
logging out and then logging in the .house folder on the desktop
disappears, refresh will not help
if I had chosen not to logout and proceeded to move the desktop .house
folder to trash it seems at first that nothing happened as if the
desktop .house folder can not be deleted, however if I then refresh the
desktop icons by right clicking it and uncheck keep aligned the .house
folder on the desktop turns into a white file looking icon with the same
.house name and will only go away if I log out and then login by this
time the .house folder in the folder that I dragged to will have been
sent to trash by this action. of course it would, after all the desktop
.house folder had shown from its properties that it was in the
destination folder.
I suspect that some of this behaviour has something to do with how Gnome works
special icons for example but there sure seem to be some bugs there as well.
This caused some data loss for me, fortunately the data was not
important and was backed up anyway.
