User reports that their icons keep auto-arranging to the left side of each of her two screens. I could replicate by right-clicking on the desktop and choosing Refresh. To fix the problem, right click on the desktop and DISABLE align-to-grid. Then, reenable align-to-grid. Somehow, that fixed it immediately for me.
