Created attachment 6734 Screenshot of the icon text alignment issue on the desktop Before I describe the problem, this is my first bugreport here, so I hope this is in the right place. :) I use Linux Lite 3.0 fully updated on an older x86 32-Bit PC. Now onto the issue, when I restarted the PC after I finished setting it up and updating it, I saw that my desktop icons were still in the place I put them, however, for some reason the icon text is not in the right place anymore. The shadow underneath the text is in the right spot, but the text itself is not where it should be. It appears to be moved to the left. I tried moving the icons around but nothing changed, rebooting yields the same results and changing the icons to something like the gnome icons also doesn't do anything either to the text. This issue only appears on the desktop, not in windows. I have included a screenshot for a better look at the problem. I'm not very linux savvy so if any additional information is required I would probably need a little info on where and how to find those, especially if the terminal is involved.
Created attachment 6735 Second screenshot: Text residue appears when Icons are moved Here is a small addition: The second screenshot that I'm adding shows what happens when the Icons are moved from one spot to another on the desktop. As you can see there is some text residue that remains from the original spot where the icons were before. What is interesting here is that the text on the icon is also cut off, but when you select the icon the text becomes full again. The text residue also disappears when you move a window above it or try to select it by holding the left mouse button and drawing a rectangle.
Created attachment 6736 Third Screenshot: Issue also appears in near stock Virtual Machine The third screenshot shows my testing with a Oracle VM VirtualBox install of Linux Lite 3.0 with the XFCE desktop. This install is fully updated and most importantly, fully stock, apart from installing the updates. The problem shows here as well, following the initial bootup and install of the updates, after a reboot the issue with the icons appears here too. I rebooted the Virtual Machine a few times but nothing changes, just like on my old x86 PC. I'm not sure if this is a issue caused by a update or if this would happen without updating the OS and rebooting it.
Created attachment 6746 use pango_cairo_show_layout instead of gtk_paint_layout I've encountered the same problem after a recent update on Fedora 23. I'm attaching a patch that fixed it for me. Not sure if it's the correct approach but looks OK here.
Created attachment 7579 The same problems screenshot The same problem on the latest Manjaro Xfce
Was this bug resolved at some point? Either by an update of xfdesktop or the used GTK theme.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Bug is still exists and shows up sometimes after updates. I suppose it's something like settings collision(~font settings bug) and appearing when user changes gtk-theme or updates current system. It solves easily by removing xfce4 settings and reboot, or system reinstalling.
