Huh, apparently, I didn't fix this bug completely. If you disable the Maximize effect, can you reproduce this bug? Also, please post output of
qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation
I can't reproduce it (on both Wayland and X11). Given the expected result, I'm not sure what you mean by "a large ghost-like big image of the window flickers on the other monitor". Does the visual artifact look like https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=101552? Created attachment 116643 [details]
When it happened.
I had tested Wobbly in a slightly older KDE last week, and the visual artefact was a lot worse (the artefact did not even disappear after the animation). This time, it was not that bad, just a minor annoyance.
The "Maximise" seems to have been enabled by default. When I turned it off, it no longer happened. Maybe you could add a warning about this in the description, like "Not to be used along with the Maximise effect"?
I had captured the "weird animation" before seeing the comment about "Maximise effect", so I will attach it. You can see a large version of the window flashes at the right corner of the left monitor. I forgot the Wobbly parameters, but with certain parameters, the flashing large window was a lot bigger.
Anyways, I think you can close this issue, as this can be solved by simply disabling "Maximise". Thank you for your help.
I am not sure if I could say this here but if you do not mind, there are really minor two additional things... (1) While wobbling, I can see some sort of seam between the title bar and the client area, as if the title bar and the client are not one piece. (2) Maybe apply anti-aliasing to the wobbling edges? It looks a little bit jaggy.

Prior to 5.14.1, the Maximize and the Wobbly Windows effect didn't go along quite well. > I had captured the "weird animation" before seeing the comment about > "Maximise effect", so I will attach it.
