Public bug reported: Starting from a few minutes ago, the desktop behaves as if the only usable area for icons was about 200-250 px wide. If I try to drag an icon and drop it outside of that area (i.e., more to the right than that imaginary nonsense line), it sticks to within that area.
I am using an external monitor on a laptop, and occasionally connect/disconnect it and switch between the external and builtin screen, the former being wider. But needless to say, both are a lot wider than 250 px. Wow, switching monitors forth and back has made the issue go away.
