By the way, I checked the "Keep aligned" box that is available by right- clicking the desktop. I also tried to replicate the bug by putting the computer to sleep and then waking it up (being prompted to enter my password at the unlock screen) but it did not happen then. Next, I will test rebooting.

That one was used for years and was originally 16.04. I reinstalled Ubuntu and the bug still occurs. It might have to do with a hardware button I have on my System76 laptop: a sleep button. It makes the computer's hard-disk sound like it stopped spinning, which I think is true. The same happens when I close the laptop lid. This also sometimes causes the Ubuntu dock to show on the login screen, which is a separate bug, but may be related. Description: Ubuntu 18.10 Release: 18.10 nautilus: Installed: 1:3.26.4-0ubuntu7 Candidate: 1:3.26.4-0ubuntu7 Version table: *** 1:3.26.4-0ubuntu7 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu cosmic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I expected my icons to remain in the same place upon login or relogin or unlock. What instead happened is that my icons were rearranged, apparently to the leftmost part of the desktop, top to bottom.
