1.  Add a shortcut to a folder

2.  While in another app, invoke the floating desktop.

     –  Open the folder

     –  Tap the shortcut (it works as it should)

3.  When back in LL (not floating desktop), open folder and tap shortcut

     – it doesn’t work, acting as though the shortcut isn’t there

To get it operational again, run the restart desktop LL action.
