Bug ID: 476536 Summary: New overview/grid animation does not feel as precise when using touchpad gestures Classification: Plasma Product: kwin Version: master Platform: Compiled Sources OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: effects-overview Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: putr...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY In Plasma 5, the overview and desktop grid effects had great one-to-one touchpad gestures, as in that the progress of the animation feels tied exactly to where my fingers were on the touchpad. However, on Plasma 6 the new overview/grid effect feels laggier, like it's slightly behind what my fingers were actually doing. The issue is especially clear at slower animation speeds, for example if I do the 4 finger down gesture quickly but stop halfway the animation will take its time before arriving at where my fingers are, and then if I finish the gesture quickly the animation will also take its time before finishing. This is in contrast to the slide animation for switching between virtual desktops, which will always follow the speed of my fingers as long as I keep them on the touchpad, regardless of the animation speed. The issue goes away if I set the animation speed to Instant, in that case the animation feels just as great as it did in Plasma 5 as long as I keep my fingers on the touchpad the whole way, although of course the problem with that workaround is that all other animations are gone. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Lower the animation speed (optional, so the problem is more obvious) 2. Do either a 4 finger up or 4 finger down touchpad gesture, but stop halfway and keep all 4 fingers on the touchpad OBSERVED RESULT The overview/grid animation stops after the motion of the fingers stop. EXPECTED RESULT The overview/grid animation stops at the same time as the fingers do.
