Public bug reported:
The icons for newly mounted [flash] drives automatically appear directly
on top of existing desktop icons even if the the "Keep aligned" context
menu has previously been selected. It can easily be corrected by
selecting "Organize Desktop by Name" from the context menu, but past
versions of Ubuntu have usually accomplished this automatically upon
flash drive mounting without the need for doing it manually. I will
attach a screenshot where you can see the icons mixed together. It
appears to affect only flash drives and only the first one that is
inserted, as additional drives that are added appear automatically
organized on the Desktop. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the
size of the flash drive or not because my 2GB drive would not appear on
the Desktop (or anywhere else for that matter) at all...
