Homepages randomly disappear and reappear

This bug has been going on for a while. AFAIK, it is not related to the Focus settings (which are all turned off). The 5 dots and home pages 2-5 disappear and reappear randomly. When the dots disappear all I have are the primary home page, the widget page and the App Library.

You don't have to set up a Focus so that it changes your Home pages. That's entirely optional. Go into the Focus in question, for example, Settings>Focus>Do Not Disturb>Customize Screens. The middle icon, if you have selected specific screens, will have a "minus" sign at the upper left. Tap on that. You will now see all of your Home screens even if Do Not Disturb is enabled.
