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.
