how far in versions you might've just jumped.

I just checked the screencaps of my home screens back on my old Galaxy
S8 (Android 7) and my icon arrangement didn't change at all (the icon
design did change) when I ported my preferences to my Galaxy S23 via
Samsung Smart Switch.  My S23 is now on Android 14/One UI 6.0.  So, no,
icon layout shouldn't change between OS versions.  If you switch
launchers or between manufacturers' modified versions of Android (ie,
from Samsung to Google Pixel), then it might.

I think my phone's android 9.
And I have a simple yes/no look at this problem
When I hit Standard, all is as I've had it for aeons.
When I hit Drawer, it changes to the weird display that I don't want.
After which a simple hit on the other layout brings it back.

That seems to imply that the Drawer layout is desirable in some
respects; as if it might provide some benefit.
And yet, it looks so screwed-up that I can't fathom any benefit.
