I can confirm this. It happens consistently on my system as well.

known upstream bug:

I commited the patch, but there is still a problem on startup, and when files
get resurrected.

See http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2005-September/msg00147.html
for details.

Still does it as of March/10/2007 on Ubuntu 6.10.

I have encounter this problem again in Hardy Beta.

don't reopen bugs closed for ages because you have similar issues on new version, there is already a new bug about a similar issue in hardy

When I connect a USB drive (flash drive, memory card etc) the device is auto-mounted which is great. However the icons for these devices always by default appear in the same place on the desktop (sometimes even 2 or 3 icons on top of each other, even over existing icons). Would it be possible to automatically place the icon for each device after the last icon currently on the desktop so that they do not overlap each other. The current system means I have to manually move each icon every time I connect a device and it makes it hard to see each icon when they are stacked on top of each other.

Confirm. (8.04.1 64-bit)

Confirm in Hardy 8.04.1 32-bit.

But I think this bug still remains on the Nautilus core.
I've recently saw this happen on another Linux distro.

I can confirm in my Hardy 8.04.1 32-bit.

could you stop commenting on a closed bug? the issue you are having is a different one and there is already other bugs about this one
