Device Information:
Device: Google Pixel 8 Pro
Android Version: Android 17
Description
Previously, widget stacks supported continuous rotation. When scrolling through a stack, reaching the last widget would automatically wrap around back to the first widget in a seamless loop.
Currently, the stack behaves as a linear list with a hard stop. Once the user reaches the final widget in the stack, they are unable to continue scrolling forward to return to the start; instead, they must manually scroll backward through every widget to reach the first one again.
Steps to Reproduce
Create a widget stack with 3 or more widgets on the home screen.
Swipe/scroll through the widgets until you reach the very last one in the stack.
Attempt to swipe one more time to return to the first widget.
Expected Behavior
The stack should utilize infinite scrolling/wrapping. Swiping "forward" on the last widget should immediately display the first widget in the stack, allowing for continuous, one-directional rotation.
Actual Behavior
The stack hits a "wall" at the last widget. The user is forced to reverse their scroll direction and go back "one by one" to get to the beginning of the list.
Additional Context
Regression: This feature was previously working and appears to have broken in a recent update.
Impact: This significantly slows down navigation for users with large widget stacks (4+ widgets), as it triples the number of swipes needed to find a specific widget.
