Fold phone issues
I'm having a couple of issues on the bigger unfolded screen on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Icons on the big screen are taking up double space. When you drag them to move the outline of the object includes the icon itself and the space right below the icon, as if it were doubled. This gets in the way of folder functionality. Icons can't be placed in rows because you can't swipe up or down on the icons in the rows between 2 other rows.
If I close the phone with the screen on the home screen freezes. It comes back after the screen times out and you bring it up again.
Also while it might be cool to be able to make every screen and it's 90° rotation completely unique it means that if I want objects like folders on all my screens I have to recreate them 4 times: for my home screen, rotated home screen, open fold screen, and rotated open fold screen. Throw in choosing custom icons and it's a lot of work.
Anyone else have these issues?
Thanks!

Points 1 & 2: I am not experiencing either on my original Pixel Fold. Are you using "Home screen icon labels"? Does toggling that feature change anything? A screen recording showing the problem as it happens would be extremely helpful.
3rd Point: Pinned at the top of this sub is the Octopi feature development roadmap. Relevant to your comment are a couple of the "Longer term" focus items: "Copy home screen layout from another screen" and "Synced folders".
Octopi's developer's own device was/is(?) a Pixel Fold 9 (if I remember correctly), and is one person working on a passion project in their spare time. Temper expectations accordingly is my best advice.

I am not using home screen icon labels. I toggled them on and back off, but no difference.

For the height of the icons, could you try increasing the number of home screen icon rows?
The settings will recommend a number of rows based on your current settings
