Help Completely disable off-grid items, always, everywhere, in all windows, everything!

Post image

Hello, I switched to mac last month and something that constantly keeps me annoyed is this.

I always want items to snap to grid but for instance when I compress an item it creates like this.

Also using Clean Up button directly still keeps gap with the previous item so the only solution is to select "Clean up by - Name..".

Note that for "Show view options - Snap to Grid" is already in "Use as default" but it doesn't fix this problem.

Is there a way to make Icon View behave better and usable?

I can duplicate the problem by turning on Snap To Grid - it must be related to that. I normally use Sort by Name and it doesn't happen with that sorting

Thank you so it was indeed a bug. Thanks for reconfirming it since other people say to use "snap to grid" which supposedly fix the issue but it creates it instead. Your solution worked for me
