Pierre Hébert Bug/Unexpected Operation.
My setup involves several Variables in Tasker, KLWP and LL to coordinate position and visibility of shortcuts, folders and items both in LL and KLWP. I am using the variables in property bindings in LL. No scripts are involved.
What I am seeing is that if the bindings involve position (off grid) of the items they don’t always work. Immediately after a reboot it seems to work for a little while.
If I open the APP draw or go into Editmode in LL and exit, the desktop and all items will be displayed correctly.
Another thing I have observed is on occasion when variables are changed the entire desktop will flash and repaint, and then everything works as it should. BUT if I look in the recent items folder (in Android) I will see LL as a recent app. If I leave this there, everything works normal. If I kill the app, it goes back to not working.
I have tried the “keep Lightning running” option with no change.
I had none of this behavior prior to v14. Nexus 5x 7.0 Sept Security Update.

Is your binding value a single value, or does it contains mathematical expressions or animate features? If so could you please post a sample one ?
Also in what circumstances are the variables changed, is it from Lightning, from Tasker or both?
It would be nice if you could catch the event after which the binding stops working, this would help me to reproduce and fix the issue.

Pierre Hébert Thanks for the response!
Bindings all use animate, simple equiations, I just move various items on and off the desktop. The variable changes all come from Tasker, even if it is a LL shortcut it runs a Tasker task that then sends the variable back, this is so Tasker can co ordinate KLWP also, which has elements that are being shown and hidden. Variables and commands are also going to/from WatchMaker to my Moto360 also through Tasker. Variables toggle from 0 to 255. Here are some of the bindings, first is the only binding on one shortcut, bottom 2 are both on same shortcut:
1175-animate(‘gvBottom’) (on left binding)
(animate(‘gvBottom’)* 1.84)-100 (on Left)
(animate(‘gvBottom’)*2.27)-100 (on top)
I have a place on the desktop in LL that displays all the variables, and the values are getting updated correctly, so LL is getting the info.
Strange things happened the the after I posted this. My phone went from full charge to dead in about 5 hours overnight. Battery gauge said that LL used 25% of the battery. Ever since that everything has been working great!! I’ve not seen the high battery usage again.
Hope this helps. I’ll let you know if I can get it to do it again and gather more info. Don’t pull your hair out on my account
