Description Andrew D. Stadler 2004-11-03 22:51:09 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/125.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.9

Description of problem:
If I right click on the desktop and select "Create Folder" it should place the new folder in roughly the same position as where I clicked.  I shouldn't have to search the desktop for it (especially when I have multiple spanning monitors and the new folder icon is placed under the full screen window on another monitor entirely.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-desktop-2.6.0.1-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.   select an open area of the desktop
2.   right click for contextual menu
3.   select "create folder"
    

Actual Results:  Icon placement is arbitrary, sometimes far from where you clicked

Expected Results:  Icon should be created roughly where you clicked

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

As of FC3 / latest - gnome-desktop-2.8.0-3 this is still annoying and would be
great if fixed.
