Expected Behavior

Adding a widget to the homepage should place the widget and allow it to be resized.

Current Behavior

Currently, you are able to select the widget, but when back on the home page it disappears with the bounding box left.

Possible Solution

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Long press on home page
2. Select widgets
3. Select a widget to place
4. Tap Add
5. Current issue appears with just a bounding box around where the widget should be.

I dont have this issue on my end

[Ethanol10]

This is what I see when placing a widget.

[Sidefix]

I also can't reproduce this. My homescreen is quite littered with widgets. I am on SD1.

Is this for a specific app, or any app?

[Ethanol10]

all my widgets are failing to show up, though a few days ago the google widget showed up again. Still can't place any widgets down though.

[Ethanol10]

I tried again recently and now clock seems to be the only widget that's failing, on a new installation this issue isn't present, I will chalk this up to a one off error

[sir86]

happend to me recently on duo 1 but it seems to affect all wigets that need confirm click after put on dektop.

[Ethanol10]

Yeah, I'll reopen it if it's happening to others

[Ethanol10]

Funny issue is I managed to quickly get it to work, by tapping through the process really fast, but I could not resize it.

I am with the latest version from 127/11 and the clock widget does not work for me

[Ethanol10]

In vanilla, the Clock app seems to work, but that seems to be because it might be an entirely separate app. Is there a unique Clock app that is installed from Gapps?

[Darkaxt]

Another one with the widget issue and my bottom shortcuts were also vanished. I use Taskbar as a replacement.

[itsleemcguire]

I lso have this issue with a lot of widgets

[Clanceeinfinity]

adding a google photos widget crashes trebuchet.

[Clanceeinfinity]

actually every widget crashes that uses the widget editor

[Clanceeinfinity]

this is what i mean btw, if you have another device try this and it should look like this. on the duo2 for me it just crashes the launcher on doesn't do anything. on android 14, you could bypass this by deactivating every desktop ui feature.
