New folders appearing in upper left hand corner of window

Very strange. I have 2 partitions. The OS partition behaves just fine, but on the other partition I've noticed in the past few days that when I create a new folder it places itself in the upper left hand corner of the window, even if there's already a folder there. In fact, no matter how many new folders I create, each plops itself down over the previous new folder in the upper left corner. This occurs within ALL folders on the data partition, but not on the OS partition or the desktop.

Any ideas?
 
Some people report that changing the icon size, then changing it back fixes this issue.

To change the icon size, select "Show View Options" from the "View" menu in the Finder while the affected window is in the foreground.
 
The DS_Store (an invisible file that holds the settings) has become corrupt. In the account you see the problem download TinkerTool and have the program "Show hidden and system files". When the invisible desktop files appear throw out the DS_Store file. Then use TinkerTool to hide the invisible files again. Hopefully this will fix the problem.
