Kindly, can we get acknowledgement from someone KDE-side here? A knowledgable
dev could know Kwin's role in this timing value, or insight on how this could
be handled upstream in QT

Thank you so much!! I was able to apply the path by using fedpkg (I did not
know about it). And for me it works really really well. Now KDE looks just
AWESOME!!! Big difference in my desktop machine with 144hz monitors.

It bothered me too, especially how intermittent the behavior seemed to be. This
does cover the behavior described in BUG 455585 that we'd been tracking for
some time. 
Great find, for real. This may indeed be an upstream QT bug that needs to be
filed and looked at officially, they may have pointers on how to better handle
it on the KDE side as well.

The quickest way to test a one-line fix like this is to build a patched package
for your distro, and install it over the system version. 
Most offer tools and helpers for this (PKGBUILD for Arch, fedpkg for Fedora,
etc). Generally the package manager will overwrite the patched version on the
next repo update. Even cooler is setting up an isolated container to do the
build, so you don't have to install all the build dependencies on your main
system :)

This was bothering me, so I was grepping around in the qt code for potential
culprits. QUnifiedTimer does seem to be a private API to qt. It could be that
the animations that never have this issue are driven by something else. But at
least in the case of system settings, it does _something_ that ends up fixing
this (maybe in kirigami?).

A case can be opened at https://bugreports.qt.io/projects/QTBUG/issues,
but..

This is still technically an issue with Kwin or whichever component is
responsible for setting the timing interval properly. Changing the default lib
value works (and it works beautifully), but it's still just a hack to prove
this works. The value likely will need to be calculated dynamically based on
monitor hz. 

> It looks like these animations are all being driven by QUnifiedTimer

I'm curious how you found this! 

I've been scouring the plasma codebase and can't find anywhere that
QUnifiedTimer::setTimingInterval() is referenced, or even portions of it. I
checked user-installed plasmoids and other locations as well. 

If it can be properly set and retained globally as Kwin starts, it would have
the same effect as changing the default upstream.

Tried the patch on my system, X11 and Wayland both butter smooth now. (I used 4
ms to have a high enough refresh rate for a 240 Hz monitor).

WOW! This completely solves everything!!! I'm still kind of new to the whole

anyone know who I have to contact in order to upstream this?

It looks like these animations are all being driven by QUnifiedTimer, which
uses a shared global tick, and the tick interval just defaults to 16ms. And if
some component ends up calling QUnifiedTimer::setTimingInterval(), it would
affect other animations since it's shared. It might explain why it fixes itself
sometimes.

If I apply the attached patch to qt6-base to change to default tick interval to
6ms, all the animations look smooth on my 144hz display (overview effect,
system settings scrolling, the smooth scrolling in okular).

Nope, seems to be triggered by something.

more noticeable especially when the using touchpad gestures to scroll through
the desktops in overview mode.

I encountered the same issue on wayland, with 165hz monitor, AMD RX 6600 XT,
Plasma 6.1.5 on kernel 6.10.10.
On X11 the animation is smooth, but every startup, I have to unsnap and snap a
window to make it smooth, otherwise it's stutter.
Basically like others mentioned.

Same here. I've had this problem with the overview effects and desktop grid
since 5.XX. For X11 I created a post-login script to Alt-tab automatically as
fast as possible (this brings the same effect than a windows snapped) and the
animations were amazing again, however, that workaround has never worked on
Wayland. It would be great if some day this issue could be solved, it looks
difficult and probably the priority is low due to the effects are pretty
functional as they are, but for me I have been searching for a solution, even I
was thinking on thinkering the effects by myself, but in KDE6 they are not in
the effects folders anymore.
