Apparently it’s a bug only on my end.
Has anyone experienced this?
Interesting, is that in 6.6? I did everything I could to make that happen in 6.6 on my Arch workstation and I couldn’t find a way to duplicate it.
Are there any hidden files in ~/Desktop?
No. There’s no hidden items there.
I noticed this shortly after the reboot after installing 6.6.0 and on the off chance I switch the desktop view and switched it back and it corrected itself.
Looks like it comes back again after a reboot and has to be toggled again.
OK looks like this does not require a reboot / logoff to misbehave. I needed to take a couple of screenshot for a issue with Jellyfin and I normally save them to the Desktop cause more times than not I do not need to keep them. Just noticed that the desktop items are not viewable again and I have not done a reboot nor logoff since last toggling the view setting for the Desktop.
Decided to report the issue:
