Bug

On Marshmallow, you have to give Lightning Launcher “Draw over other apps” permission in the System/Apps settings to be able to use a floating desktop.

Without this permission, LL aborts when you try to display a floating desktop.

However, LL doesn’t prompt the user to set that permission, so it’s not obvious what the user should do to prevent the abort.

None of my widgets are updating.

None of my widgets are updating. I first noticed it with my podcatcher’s widget, but this screenshot illustrates it very well. Note that the time in the world time widget bears no relationship to the current time, and the Google Now widget is showing information from 4 days ago. (Current date and time are at the top of the screen, using Lightning’s Dynamic Text.)

Is this a bug, or it there some obscure setting somewhere that I’ve missed?
