I have my Mac desktop configured to snap icons to a grid. However, for a while I’ve noticed that moving an icon causes them to snap to the upper-right corner of the screen, ignoring where I actually want them and overlapping existing icons. The only way around this seems to be going into Display Settings, changing any parameter such as Grid Size, and then moving the icons again. Has anyone else been experiencing this?
I keep mine sorted by type in stacks. So mine does what you’re describing by design.
What you’re describing sounds like a bug.
