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 the launcher displays:
  
• What it should display:
  

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

Device info (please complete the following information):

• Model: Nokia TA-1157
• OS: Android 11
• App version SMT 5.1.1

Can you remove not filled sections? It may be a bit misleading for others.

Done.

Same happened with Simple Launcher. Reboot brings them back.

Same problem on Pixel 5, with Launcher installed through Play Store. In case you need another data point.
