Bug ID: 469983
Summary: Showing window previews should be delayed until the
mouse cursor is still to prevent flashes
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sephiroth...@hotmail.it
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If you hover the mouse on a small window preview created by the icons-only task
manager, it shows a full-size preview of said window. The problem is that this
preview is shown as soon as the mouse hovers over it; if you have multiple
small previews and move your mouse over them, this makes the screen flash as
the previews are very quickly changed. Not only is this unpleasant to a normal
person (and I mean "normal" in a statistical way), but it can cause issues to
people with specific disabilities and/or conditions (e.g. epilepsy).
It would be much better if the full-size preview was shown once the mouse
cursor is actually still, or at the very least after a given interval (e.g. 250
ms) has passed so as to avoid this flashing.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple windows of a given application
2. Bring up the small window preview on the icons-only task manager
3. Move your mouse quickly over those window previews
OBSERVED RESULT
The screen flashes as it very quickly goes from one full-size preview to the
next.
EXPECTED RESULT
The screen doesn't flash; the full-size preview is only shown once the mouse is
actually still.
