Cannot remove/resize widgets

Open c-torre opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug

Hi, I cannot remove or resize widgets. I followed the steps here: https://help.kisslauncher.com/widgets/add-a-widget/ Force-stopping the app did not work.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add a widget.
  2. Long-press on the widget.
  3. Nothing happens.
  4. Widget just stays forever.

Expected behavior

Some sort of menu should have spawned on long press, prompting to re-dimension/remove.

Additional information

  • App version: 3.16.1
  • App installed via: f-droid

Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS)

What widget is not working? Have you tried more than one?

I tried adding the native clock widget and the Weather (Privacy Friendly) F-Droid app widget. Neither can be removed. Tapping them launches their respective app, but long-press gives no response whatsoever.

Changing to default Trebuchet launcher, killing KISS, and opening it again does not resolve the issue. Moving/removing/resizing via longpress works on Trebuchet. Restarting my device did not solve the issue.

Maybe a "Remove all widgets" could be added to the KISS menu for cases like this? Unfortunately I do not have the Java/Android knowledge to PR.

I was able to eventually remove then. It turns out what really happened is that the widget hitbox for the long tap behaves erratically. Long-pressing on random areas near the target widget (e.g. the far right edge of the screen) finally spawned the menu. Still, a fix for this and/or the addition of a "Remove all widgets" button would be welcome.
