Public bug reported:

Some of the desktop icons are placed outside of the visible area. It
seems as if the actual desktop area is greater than what is displayed by
the screen.

I have a dual monitor setup. The primary screen is connected to the VGA
port of my laptop. The laptop's screen is configured as secondary and is
placed on the left.

The native resolution of both screens is 1920x1080. However, since the
built in screen of my laptop is small, it is set to 1360x768. The
primary screen is set to its native resolution.

If I sort the icons by name, the are moved to the secondary screen with
the lower resolution and some of the icons are out of the visible range
so I cannot access them.

If I change the resolution of the secondary screen to its native
resolution, I do find the icons in the top corner of the desktop.
