I’m experiencing some weirdness with widgets when duplicating desktops, which looks like a bug. I’ve tried several times and the following reproduces consistently on my phone:

If I have a desktop with widgets, and I duplicate it (via lightning settings->configure desktops), I see the widgets on both desktops, but on one of them, usually the original, they are unresponsive (i.e. no response to taps, do not update).

I couldn’t find any way to recover from this short of recreating the widgets.

If I try to fix it by deleting the new desktop, it only gets worse. At first I can still see the widgets on the original desktop, but if I restart the launcher (via “Restart app” lightning action), the widgets become completely broken and show the “couldn’t find widget” message.

I also tried taking a backup before duplicating the desktop and reverting to it after duplicating, but this gives me the same result (“couldn’t find widget”).

I’m running Android 4.4.2 if it makes any difference.
