Description Gabor 2020-06-09 10:23:14 UTC
SUMMARY
After unlocking: the lock screen disappears and the desktop appears immediately, than the lockscreen covers it with some opacity, and fades out.
This causes a flickering on unlocking.
You can see it if you set the Animation Speed to the minimum in plasma settings under Workspace Behavior.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set the Animation Speed to the minimum in plasma settings under Workspace Behavior.
2. lock the screen
3. unlock

EXPECTED RESULT
even would be better without animation.
