The last update like from yesterday has weirded out my desktop - icon spacing very wide, icons large, etc. - some of the icons were completely off the screen and had to use right click and "select all" to move them into view...

There used to be some place that you could tell it icon spacing/size, but it seems to be missing.-How do we adjust the desktop icon spacing / grid and/or icon size (other than 'resize' each one individually)?

Curious that I can login as my laptop's other user, and the icons are all just as they were - aligned in a tight grid/column and small. Not affected by whatever corrupted the other user desktop. Still, wonder how to edit these settings...

For Ubuntu 17.04 (and 17.10) with Gnome Flashback: Go to Files (file manager app), go to the Desktop folder, hold control + scroll mouse wheel. This changes the sizes in both the window and on the desktop.
