Created attachment 6409 screenshot expected result vs result I have 5 icons, e.g. one in the center and the other 4 placed around it, resulting in a cross-shape. I select all icons and drag-and-drop move them to another position on the desktop. The cross shape now isn't anymore, instead I have 5 vertically stacked icons. What I and maybe also others would want or expect is the same cross shape only at the new position.
Upgraded xfce4 to debian testing (with pinning) because of this bug: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1678 which seems to have been solved since 2 years but still isn't available in Debian stable ... Problem still exists
Created attachment 7021 [patch]Retain icon relative position when moving a group I created a patch which address this issue.

It's still an issue in xfdesktop 4.12.4 (arch linux). When will the patched version make it to an "official release"?
