Upon more testing myself, it looks like an additional home button press is being invoked when swiping home. You can verify this within Nova Launcher by setting a "Home button" action in Nova Settings > Gestures and inputs. Observe that the additional action you set will also be activated occasionally when you swipe home. In the attached screen recording, I've set the extra home button action to open the Google Assistant.
Tapping the screen during the return-to-home transition on the past couple Android releases would cancel the animation and you'd instantly end up on your home screen. It looks like that's what is happening here as well -- the extra invocation of the home button press is cancelling the transition animation (and with Nova, running the action you set if any). I couldn't say whether or not that's related to the content flat out not appearing though.

I am seeing this issue also on my Pixel 7 Pro and Nova 7 with a couple of additions. First there are instances where I will use the home screen gesture and all that I see is my home screen wallpaper and the gesture bar. If I repeat the gesture, my app icons will usually re-appear. I'm not sure that I agree with the previous comments. My home screen gesture is set to app drawer.

Have this with my P7Pro. Just updated and all my home screen icons go translucent. Very annoying. Have tried restarting. Works for a bit then happens again.

I have the same issue, I found switching from gesture navigation to 3 button stops the issue with Nova. The issue persists in Pixel Launcher and Lawnchair with 3 button enabled.

Same issue as well, using current Nova Launcher beta as default launcher. My device and OS is the same. A14 Beta 1 and Pixel 7 (panther).

*xxApplication is implementing AppComponentProvider.

I cannot reproduce this issue, and I don't understand why getApplication returns android.app.Application instead of my com.xxx.xxApplication.
It would be very helpful if you can figure this out, thanks.
