I recently updated from Ubuntu 18.04.4 to 20.04.1. Now I noticed that the icons on the Desktop disappear shortly when I delete a file by pressing the Del key. There is no flickering when I delete a file in my HOME folder for example.

Environment

Window manager: Gnome 3.36.3
Desktop environment: ubuntu-wayland
Linux distribution: Ubuntu 20.04.1

I also noticed that I cannot drag and drop files from the desktop into an open folder. I have to Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V the files.

@N0rbert Yes, pomsky's answer is really helpful. I will try out the Desktop Icons NG (DING) extension. – JJD Oct 30 '20 at 10:24
