Clunky transition/animation glitch when closing landscape apps from a favorites pop-up folder

When closing a game that runs in landscape orientation and returning to the home screen, there is a noticeable lag or visual "clunkiness" in the transition animation.

​Key Details & Context

  • ​Trigger: The issue specifically occurs when exiting apps that force a landscape orientation back to the portrait home screen.

  • ​Location: The apps are being launched from a Pop-up Folder pinned to the Favorites list.

  • ​Orientation: Portrait-oriented apps/games launched from the same folder close smoothly without any animation stutter.

​Steps to Reproduce

  1. ​Create a Pop-up Folder in the Favorites list (e.g., named "Games").

  2. ​Place a game or app that forces landscape orientation into that folder.

  3. ​Open the folder and launch the landscape game.

  4. ​Close the game (swipe to go home or press the home button) to return to the Niagara Launcher home screen.

  5. ​Observe the transition animation back to the home screen.
