Description uetsah 2010-02-12 19:40:05 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

in wobbly windows settings, I have "wobble on move" enabled, but "wobble on resize" disabled because it is very distracting in this case. Consequently, drag-resizing windows or clicking the maximize button doesn't cause a wobbly animation to occur.

However, when resizing a window with the new drag-to-top/left/right screen-edge method that was introduced in KDE SC 4.4, a distracting wobbly animation occurs.

It's especially distracting when dragging to the left or right screen edge, as it look like the window is "flying in" from outside the screen edge.

Sorry for the long delay:

Can you please explain how you enter or leave the quick maximization w/o moving the window?

It does not wobble with the quick tile shortcuts.

Please, follow these steps:
1. Enable the Wobbly Windows effect: both `wobble on move` and `wobble on resize`.
2. Maximize a window (does not matter how you do that).
3. Drag the title bar of that window. The window will wobble very strangely.

I hope, what I have just described is the same bug as the bug reporter (uetsah) was talking about.

Ok, that makes more sense, is a dupe and you're probably lucky today ;-)

Oh, wait... this is not the same, sorry.

I guess the topic starter meant that quick maximization (that involves dragging the title bar of the window) should be treated as just resizing, like if the was no movement involved.

This is reasonable, because he was disabling the `Wobble on resize` option, because he does not like the wobble effect on window resize. Even if we admit that quick maximization involves both move and resize, the effect should not take place because wobbling on resize was disabled.

May be there should be the a third option "Wobble on quick resize" or something like that that will apply to the case of quick maximization, etc.
