Visual glitch/artifacts when returning to home screen (yellow lines)

vinayakakv commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

When setting the wallpaper from Google Photos app and coming back to the launcher, the launcher animation is accompanied by a glitch.

Steps to reproduce

Go to Google photos app
Select a photo
Swipe up to reveal more options
In the options list, select "Use As"
In there choose "Set wallpaper" option provided by Google Photos app
Set the wallpaper
Immediately go to the home screen to open the launcher

Note that the glitch does not happen if we do not immediately navigate to the homescreen by spending some time in other screens.

Does the issue also occur with other 3rd-party launchers?

Other third party launchers like Lawnchair or Nova don't face this issue?

vinayakakv commented 1 year ago

I tested with Nova Launcher Beta and Lawnchair. They do not face this issue.

This issue doesn't seem to be tied to setting wallpaper. Once, I observed this when returning to home screen after using other apps.

The common thing between these two scenarios was the particular animation.

I have a Pixel 7 and the latest Niagara beta and I have this issue often. Except it happens in many contexts, not just setting the wallpaper. Many times merely going to the Niagara home screen it occurs.

EtzBetz commented 1 year ago

I have this issue often as well, but with the Spotify view when switching to the Homescreen:

Same here. Also on a Pixel 7 with Android 13.

ecarl65 commented 1 year ago

I think I just discovered a little more about this bug. I just changed the animation settings in developer mode from 0.5 back to the default of 1 and the bug seems to have disappeared.

I have and always had the animation settings at 1, and the bug is still occurring for me. Maybe it's occurring more often with faster animation speed, tho?

ecarl65 commented 1 year ago

Ah, okay. Good to know. Thanks. I guess maybe it's happening less often so I haven't observed it yet.

ecarl65 commented 1 year ago

I just experienced it at 1x animation speed, sorry for the false claim. It does seem to be less frequent though, in case that helps in debugging.

I've got the new update now on my P6 and the issue still persists, but the area visually got bigger. I'm going to try to capture it..

ecarl65 commented 1 year ago

I agree, that's exactly my experience. I still have the issue and the area of the artifact is bigger.

I have a Pixel 6a with the March Update and I too am having this issue when returning to the home screen randomly (not related to the wallpaper picker). I have not figured out a way to duplicate it, as it happens completely at random. If I try to duplicate it right after it never happens. Seems like after the device is asleep for a bit and I go into a app like messages then go back to my home screen it happens. I believe I started to notice this with the February update. Also it should be noted I use Muzei as my live wallpaper background that pulls images from a local cache from downloaded photos that I imported from my Google Photos.

RiccardoMargiotta commented 1 year ago

Same for me on Pixel 6. I used to notice it more when I was using Muzei to rotate wallpapers, it happens less often since I switched to a static wallpaper.

seankhl commented 1 year ago

I face this bug too. It's the biggest bug I face with Niagara, and I do not think it should be considered low priority. Much appreciation for the project in general and I am not suggesting I am entitled to a fix or prioritization of this issue, just sharing my opinion.

tomdod commented 7 months ago

I also have this issue on Pixel 8 running Android 14. I'm unable to identify an app which consistently reproduces this, but I get it a few times a day.
