I have understand now there is a misunderstanding :)
The problem is not related to a screen full of icons, but... let's say you have
a screen with no icons yet and have "icons orientation" set to "top left
vertical" (the default)... now you create some files on the desktop... file
"1", "2", "3", and so on, until these files' icons fill the vertical size of
your screen, let's say, with file "8". Now you create file "9". Its icon
doesn't show on the desktop, it "gets rendered" below its bottom, and the same
happens with new file "10", "11" and so on, until you reach file "17": its icon
gets rendered on top of screen as first icon of a new column, while icons for
files from "9" to "17" stay offscreen and there's no way to reach them.
It's like the algorithm that places the icons is considering a double-sized
desktop.

It's a hidpi, "4k", 3840x2160 screen :)
