User level: Level 1 (14 points)Why do my icons positioned top right of screen keep shifting to mid screen?
This happens on a random but regular basis. I am running 27.0.1 on a M4 Mac mini. This was happening before this recent upgrade and is now continuing after this new upgrade. I have view options set to "Snap to Grid" and icons are in the "snap to" positions. Pic 1 show how I try and set things up. Pic 2 shows what happens intermittently.
Thanks for any help.

Go to Finder > View > Show View Options and make sure that the Icon size: is less than the Grid spacing:
If that doesn't help...?
You'll need to track down and tell us what action is causing the Icons to shift.

Thanks. Will give it a try. I did have icon size bigger than grid spacing. Changed and will wait and see results.

You're welcome. Give us an update if happens again or if you find something else that is causing the icons to shift.

Been close to a week now and icons are remaining in place. Thanks much for the help.
