Public bug reported: 1. Enable "Join displays" in the Displays settings 2. Drag the displays so that they are staggered 3. Set the right side display to Primary 4. Right-click the desktop and select "Organize desktop by name"
Problem 1: The icons will all move to the secondary display instead of the Primary display Problem 2: The icons will extend beyond the screen, into the empty space caused by the staggering.
