Bug ID: 376648 Summary: Magic lamp produces artifacts when "minimizing" to tray Product: kwin Version: 5.9.0 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: effects-various Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: k...@jbev.net Target Milestone: --- When an application minimizes to tray (i.e. minimizes and then hides the window, so there is no taskbar button anymore), the magic lamp effect is targeted towards the cursor position instead of the taskbar. This works well most of the time, but sometimes it creates severe rendering artifacts in the form of moving vertical or horizontal bars. This effect is especially obvious when the cursor position is more to the center of the screen than to the edges. To generally improve the visuals of that effect, it would maybe also be good not to use the cursor position as a single pixel but rather an area of a few pixels. I don't know if that would get rid of the above-mentioned artifacts, but it would overall look less glitchy.
