We've had this shit for 8 years now, this reeks of corruption.
I wouldn't be surprised if somebody is paying off high placed
developpers to divert manpower to other things and maintain small but
important flaws.
This bug is one of the biggest newbie turn-offs I know about.
Microsoft would lose milions every year if ubuntu went mainstream. It's
natural to assume they'd legally but discretely pay off some people as
part of risk managment(typical in economy) and important unsolved bugs
like this one are proof of this.

Bug description:
I have some icons with long file names. Sometimes I unintentionally
end up with completely illegible icon labels and overlapping icons. I
have created a snapshot of my intentionally horrific example.
This problem is easy to reproduce when working with file previews
(irregularly shaped images) and icons with long file names. Just
create some and drag them close together, paying attention to not
trigger the a file move event.
I have noticed what I consider to be a related problem. When I remove
a file from my desktop or a new icon is added as a result of some
program adding an entry, the desktop isn't refreshed with autoarranged
icons. I have looked and looked and can find no way to make this my
desktop's behavior. I think this is terrible UI from a usability
standpoint. I will attach the image showing the problem.
