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.

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. Release icon

  Expected behavior:

  - You are more or less still in the same position, so the icon should
  go back to where it was before dragging

  Observed behavior:

  - The icon jumps a long way to the left

  You can recreate this with "one pixel up" as well, where the icon
  jumps up, although not as dramatically as with the x-axis. The
  behavior is the same regardless of the icon size.

  I am reporting this as a bug, because it is highly annoying to move an
  icon to more or less where you want, only to find it jumps back. I
  think the correct behavior would be for the icon to snap to the
  closest grid lines, rather than the one on its left/up.
