How did you install the app?
GitHub releases
Steps to reproduce the bug
- add an app to the first page of the home screen
- add an app to the second page of the home screen
- add a widget to the home screen (In my case I added the Proton Calandar widget and the Samsung Analog Clock widget to page 2 of the home screen)
- swipe to another home screen page (page 1 in my case) The widgets will stay on screen underneath of the apps of the page the user swiped too (eg I have calandar and clock under my page 1 apps now)
Expected behavior
Widgets added to a home screen page will be swiped away along with apps on that page when the user navigates to the next page over
Actual behavior
Widgets stay on screen rendered behind apps as if they were a part of the phone's background when the user navigates to the next page over

Probably the same problem, widgets also sometimes disappear. Not always. Simple launcher had the same problem. Reboot brings them back.
While trying to fix this I encountered perhaps a different bug. Could be related. I was trying to get the clock and calendar widgets to be on different screens. While shifting them around they both disappeared. Now when I try to drag and drop either of them onto the home screen they never appear.
I tried deleting all app data uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but now the issue persists. I can't get clock or calendar widgets to show up.
Yeah, the widgets implementation needs to be improved significantely. Right now, it barely works.
Same problem on Pixel 5, with Launcher installed through Play Store. In case you need another data point.
(i'm the one who added Clock#324)
app version: 1.4.0. S.O.: Android AP3A.240905.015.A2 device: POCO65 installed from: F-Droid
@Rebe-Ka Are you able to reproduce this with the latest Fossify Launcher v1.5.0?
It would be helpful if you shared the exact steps.
exact steps of what i'm doing now? with sharign, you mean in writing, or screenshot, or it doesn't matter?
That is, list the steps one must take to observe this broken behavior on a clean install of Fossify Launcher.
it seems to have been solved with new version.
what i did:
- downlanded latest version (1.5.0) from the link you provided, and installed
- restarted the device (just in case), but clock widget was already not stuck
- added clock widget again all went fine, no probs
A year later and this is still an issue on 1.6.0.
It seems to happen after the phone sits "idle" for a period of time. It was fine last night, but awoke to the digital clock widget showing an offset duplicate. There are no "steps" to reproduce it as it just happens on it's own, randomly. The only "fix" is to revert back to stock GrapheneOS Launcher then back to FOSS and redo the widget(s).
