[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1462267] Re: Desktop icon alignment `floor()`s instead of `round()`
This bug was fixed in the package nautilus - 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu3 --- nautilus (1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu3) xenial; urgency=medium * debian/patches/git_desktop_grid.patch: - use the correct grid point when moving icons on the desktop view, (lp: #1462267) * debian/patches/ubuntu_new_gtksidebar.patch: - GtkPlacesSidebar changed in GTK 3.18, update to the new version, that restores special items on context menus (eject, format, etc) and the sidebar item to browse remote locations (lp: #1548977) -- Sebastien Bacher Fri, 18 Mar 2016 09:42:31 +0100 ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462267 Title: Desktop icon alignment `floor()`s instead of `round()` Status in Nautilus: Fix Released Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: When dragging to arrange icons on the desktop, there is an invisible grid that the icons get snapped to.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1462267] Re: Desktop icon alignment `floor()`s instead of `round()`
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1462267 Title: Desktop icon alignment `floor()`s instead of `round()` Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When dragging to arrange icons on the desktop, there is an invisible grid that the icons get snapped to. The x-axis has larger distance between grid lines and this bug is more visible in that direction. Steps to reproduce: 1. Take an icon 2. Drag a few pixels to left 3.
