When I select a desktop icon by clicking on it, I notice large increase in CPU usage by xfdesktop to ~40-50% CPU. The higher CPU usage persists while using other applications and roughly doubles my battery drain rate.

The CPU usage only drops after the icon is unselected by clicking on the background.

xfdesktop --version
