Describe the bug Widgets seem to disapear or crash for some users. Depending on the widget, they may display only part of the expected information, or not display anything at all. Some may still be interactible, even when invisible. When a user suffers from this bug, it seems that it affects all of their widgets, and that this bug isn't there when they use another launcher app.
Following are two screenshots showing my personal situation. I use a single screen space and i have 67 apps shown in my app drawer, without any aditional drawer used.

- What it should display:
Expected behavior Widgets should always work, shouldn't disapear or crash when they don't in other launchers.

Same problem on Pixel 5, with Launcher installed through Play Store. In case you need another data point.
I have just freshly installed Fossify Launcher from F-Droid, and I can't install some widgets (K-9 Mail, Whatsapp shortcut, . I can install other widgets, but after a reboot, all widgets are gone. Not sure if it's related, but I also can't install a Firefox link on the homescreen.
Interestingly, when I hold the holdscreen in a place that used to have a widget, I get the "resize" menu, so maybe the widget is still there but not displaying, and I can't add new widgets because they're blocked by invisible widgets. Either way, widgets clearly don't work right.
