I'm using El Capitan and the Photos app.
I drag-and-drop a photo from Photos onto a visible spot on my desktop.
The problem is, the photo icon appears elsewhere on my desktop, so to do anything with it — double click to open in another app — I have to minimize my application to locate it wherever it end up on the desktop.
I feel like Mac OS X didn't used to do this, that it file icons appeared exactly where they were dropped.
Is there some setting I have to enable/disable to make this work?
Thanks!

It seems you have some kind of auto arrange enabled. Right-click on the desktop and disable Sort By / Arrange By.
