How to place desktop icon titles in the center?

Question

After a recent update (2 days ago) the names of icons on the Desktop are not aligned correctly. I am using Arc theme with Paper icon set but this problem persists even with default theme and icon set.

The icons themselves are aligned perfectly, only the names are not.

locale | grep -i collate

gives: LC_COLLATE="el_GR.UTF-8"

Please run locale | grep -i collate and show us the output by editing the questions. — Gunnar Hjalmarsson, Jul 14 '16 at 11:28
Ok, great. I read the question badly, thinking that sorting was an issue. Now I understands it's not. Sorry for the noise. — Gunnar Hjalmarsson, Jul 15 '16 at 08:56
No problem, your request made me think that this may be a result of a problem in the display language because there was an update of Greek language and locale among other updates two days ago. I changed the display language to US English but the problem persists so I don't think that this is a display language oriented problem. — Dimitris, Jul 15 '16 at 11:51

It seems to be bug 1598316.

I downgraded gtk2-engines-murrine from 0.98.2-0ubuntu2.1 to 0.98.2-0ubuntu2 which fixed the issue for me.
