I was already about to move this to bug reports as regression.
But as this is a regression of a new feature I just let it stay as feature request?

What I observed is:
bookmarking (starring) a web site and only then from the bookmarks long-pressing and adding to app grid works as expected and adds an icon to app grid (as working since years).

Only when using the new menu button ‘Add to app grid’ there is this meaningless blue-white star.

Old way works as expected so I’m moving it to Bug reports
