I know what you are talking about, because on my E5 I do/did have this very rarely. It used to be more. Since OTA 6 it is gone together with another nasty bug (screen not unlocking on incoming calls and so on).
Did you/do you change your volume? In the German telegram group someone was describing the same problem (see: https://t.me/UBports_Deutsch/25623). There was the idea that it might be connected to the sound volume. With a volume of approx. 45%-55% it is more likely to have this bug.

To complete the ideas from the Telegram-thread a few days ago I add my draft as well. Although I was already reminded that there used to be a browser "in the old times" using a similar logo.
Teleports - port - steering wheel was the idea behind it...

Edit 1:
In Germany there is a phrase "ein sicherer Hafen" (a safe port). A port suggests safety (for ships).
If that makes sense in other languages a marketing phrase for TELEports (independent of the icon) could be:
<marketing> "TELEports - a safe port for your chats" </marketing>

Great job! I do really appreciate the efforts to not only fix numerous issues but as well design entirely new things!

I do really like the option to be able to easily pick and arrange icons on my home screen (UT Tweak Tools does that at the moment). That's something that would definitely add some value to UT.
-> I would like to see a feature to tap - hold - shuffle around icons.
-> Also I think it would be good, if apps would be either on the homescreen or on the other page. So you don't get them twice.

How about this:
0. the launcher for some apps you would like to reach from every place on your phone (i.e. settings, OpenStore, ?)

1. home screen as in sprint with your most favorite apps for quickest access
2. at the bottom numbered icons that will load separate "app folder pages"
   -> number 1: all other apps that are not assigned to one of the other screens
   -> number 2: custom = maybe games
   -> number 3: custom = maybe social/communication apps
   -> more numbers if the screen allows it
   On my BQ E5 there won't fit more icons unless they are smaller. But 4 will quite likely be possible.

With this layout you can quickly reach lots of apps.
Custom icons/group icons would be a plus to make it more obvious which type of apps you are holding on your pages.
