After updating to One UI 6, the active workout closes and is not shown on watch face

Previously when I started a workout such as Walk, Pool Swim, or Circuit Training, it would remain open on the watch face until I ended it or intentionally dismissed it using the Home button.

Also, if I did switch from the active workout back to the Home screen, there would be a little green person icon in the bottom center of the watch indicating that a workout was active and I could press it to re-open.

After updating to One UI 6, both of the above features are broken.

When I start a workout the workout minimizes by itself after some time. For pool swims where you can't manipulate the screen until disabling the water lock this is very annoying. I used to be able to monitor my swim times, but now I cannot. It really decreases the value of the watch.

Secondly, the little green person icon at the bottom is no longer there. This means there can be a workout session active but you will not know. This is misleading. There should be some affordance that a workout is in progress as this likely consumes extra battery life.
