I only discovered this earlier today (QA-test on daily, confirmed on two boxes & it's also on this my main 19.10 install) and sorry didn't see this bug before filing.
I've hadn't detected any program as being required to be open for the problem; my notes/observations are in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1844601 (but I'll give main points here) I don't have a terminal (gnome-terminal or other term) open currently, yet the issue still occurs - thus I have issues with title (I think inaccurate). Yes I have had terminal open this session? so does having it open sometime in the past qualify? I noted the issue occurs with chromium/hexchat/terminal/.. however if audacious is my active window the issue does NOT occur. The last 'active' window is what I felt controlled whether or not the issue occurs - but I'm guessing (based on extremely limited exploration on my used programs) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842910 Title: Desktop right click menu appears in the wrong place if a Terminal window is open Status in GNOME Shell: New Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell source package in Eoan: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons source package in Eoan: Confirmed Bug description: Desktop right click menu appears in the wrong place if a Terminal window is open. 1.
