The launcher is slower than it looks.

The animation of showing a folder to close occurs at a normal speed, but the actual process of closing the folder doesn’t. Whenever I close a folder and then tap on a space outside the folder (which the folder was occupying when it was open), it clicks inside the folder and opens whatever app was there.

REPLICATE:

Create a folder.

Put some apps in it.

Now, open the folder.

Close the folder, and tap on a spot where the folder was before it was closed.

It will click inside the folder even though the user is shown that the folder has closed.

I’m not able to add apps to the homescreen from the app drawer. Steps to reproduce.

Open app drawer

long press any app and choose add to launcher

Toast should say it was added

check your homescreen you won’t see the app there check the heirachy you will see its not listed in there either.

So I’m only reporting this because it’s now more than 6 times this has occurred: I edit my layout, create shortcuts, folders, move apps, etc (either on home screen or app drawer), and then after many changes to make it just right, Lightning Launcher frustratingly crashes and restarts to the setup that I had before I did any editing. I think it happens most often when an app is opened (usually accidentally by me) soon after edits have been made, though I could be wrong. This is a very time- and energy-consuming bug. Could these crashes please be fixed (or auto save changes to the launcher layout/preferences more often so crucial data and layout isn’t lost after every crash).

The layout reset after the crash goes back to before my first edit, even if it was 30 mins ago. I would hope that it auto save the layout much more often than that. Especially when it is edited.

I look forward to your thoughts on this crashing issue. Thank you.
