How do I stop renamed files from moving to upper left corner

A few months ago I switched to a new laptop, then immediately downloaded windows upgrade on it, so I don't know which factor causes this. But ever since, every time I rename a file on the desktop, windows immediately moves the file to the upper left corner of the screen, or the nearest open space to this point. This is confusing when I'm trying to keep track of and arrange my desktop files in some other way, and I have to keep moving the file back to where I want it.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Files, folders, and storage

    I always use 2 monitors, yes.

    To me, it looks like it's an issue triggered by a total display width of more than 1920 (don't know the exact number).

    Maybe you can "fix" it by using a lower resolution while renaming a file on the desktop and then revert to full resolution. Just a guess ;)
