Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 20.4 LTS
Nautilus 3.36.3
What I expect to happen:
When selecting "Show Hidden Files" checkbox, I expect any icons on my desktop
for hidden files to appear and for icons for regular files to remain visible.
What actually happens:
when I select the "Show Hidden Files" checkbox, random icons on my desktop are
hidden.
When deselecting the same checkbox, sometimes not all the missing icons
reappear.
There appears to be no pattern to the missing icons. Different icons are
hidden on different occasions and there is no consistency as to the file
type hidden (sometimes one icon for a .txt file is hidden and another
icon for a different .txt file is not, for example).
When navigating to the Desktop folder in Nautilus the expected behavior
is observed - i.e hidden file visibility is toggled in the Nautilus
window, regular files remain listed always.
