Help Jumbled home screen (ADW launcher)

Running GB .596 rooted (2 part method) with ADW launcher.

Has anyone else seen or know how to fix this. It's happened 3 or 4 times since the GB update. When I come out of a sleep, the bottom half of the screen is blank. Then as I navigate around the home screens, parts of them become stuck on the screen. If I enter an app, everything is fine in the app, but when I return to the home screen the problem is still there. A reboot fixes the issue. I just wondered if anyone knows a fix or has seen this. I haven't tried deleting and reinstalling ADW, but I will soon.

I just did the uninstall / reinstall of ADW Launcher. As I stated, it only occurs about once a week so only time will tell.

That was a pain! After the reinstall I had to reboot later that day. When the DX booted up, I was in a FC loop with ADW. I could not get to the home screen. I could double click the Home button and get into Maps, and I could get into Handsent or Gmail if I had a notification, but no home screen cause of the FC messages. The Menu button wouldn't work cause the home screen wasn't open. Tried rebooting a couple of times, no help.

When I got home, I put the DX in my desk dock. Luckily I have a link to my Apps Organizer folders on the desk dock screen. I was able to get into Settings, delete ADW's data and uninstall. Reinstalled ADW after a reboot and no problems so far.

I know I could have done a SBF to Froyo and upgraded back to GB rooted if this failed. Glad I didn't have to thou.
 
Well the jumbled screen just happened again. I did find out if I restart ADW (Menu / ADW Settings / Restart ADW) it will fix the issue. Must be an issue with ADW and GB. I'll send the developer an email and see what they say.
 
Emailing is not a bad idea. I've never experienced it myself, so I don't have any other suggestions besides trying another launcher. BTW, are you rooted and running a custom ROM? If you are, you could also try ADW on a different ROM
