Bliss Launcher skews wallpapers on Fairphone 6

  • /e/OS version: 3.1.4-a15-20250915526528-official-FP6
  • Device model(s): FP6
  • Impacted Application: Launcher

The problem

Bliss Launcher skews wallpapers by several hundred pixels across the bottom row of icons. Example, if I set the wallpaper to a photo of a telephone pole, the bottom of the pole (the part beneath the bottom icon bar) will be offset to the right by several hundred pixels. The extent of the offset appears to be related to the number of home screen pages that are configured. I have three plus the leftmost widgets page, and the wallpaper lines up if I swipe over to the rightmost page.

Curiously, the effect is least pronounced on the baked-in system wallpapers.

This does not appear to affect Bliss on other devices (I also own a Teracube 2e running the same version of /e/OS and it doesn't have this issue), so maybe this is Fairphone 6 specific or just related to the resolution of the device's screen versus the resolution of the image selected for the wallpaper.

Steps to reproduce

  • On a Fairphone 6 (or, perhaps, a device with identical screen resolution), set a wallpaper and observe the skew/offset across the bottom row of launcher icons. Wallpapers with vertical shapes show the defect off the easiest.
