The bug is old and Ubuntu changed quite a lot since, there has also been
no activity here nor similar reports. Closing since we believe the issue
as described is deprecated but feel free to file a new report if you
still have problems in recent Ubuntu versions.

Title:
Only one 'ghost' icon follows pointer while dragging multiple icons on
the desktop
Status in Nautilus:
Confirmed
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
This is a usability bug of minor importance.
Selecting (via a marquee or Ctrl/Shift-Click) multiple icons on the
desktop (or a Nautilus window in Icon mode) and dragging them should
create a 'ghost' semitransparent copy of the icons, as originally
arranged before the dragging action commenced that serve to indicate
the position of the icons on the desktop (or Nautilus window) while
the mouse moves and before the drag action is completed.
Current situation:
Nautilus currently only provides this 'ghost' icon for the object
exactly beneath the pointer. This 'ghost' icon is not semitranslucent,
but opaque. For the remaining selected icons being dragged Nautilus
merely provides a dotted outline. This is poor from a usability point
of view for the following reasons:
1. The dotted outline is not visible over a range of backgrounds.
2. The single 'icon' that appears while dragging can be misleading to new
users who might think that they're only acting upon a single object.
3. The opaqueness of the icon representing object being dragged makes it
difficult to differentiate it between the other objects on the Desktop
(Nautilus window).
