Desktop icons change location because of temporal files

Question

Hi, I have an issue on the desktop where, when editing a file, a temporary file appears in its place and pushes the actual file to the next available spot. Is there any way to stop this?

Auto-arrange is off. Align to grid is on. Sorting is off (none selected).

Also, when downloading from the internet to the desktop, files and folders sometimes get relocated. My guess is that the temporary file created during the download is the cause. When downloading multiple files, gaps often appear on the desktop (temporary file – actual file – temporary file – actual file…), because the temporary files get deleted when each download finishes.

Both behaviors are very annoying and seem buggy. The root cause appears to be the same. How to solve this?
