Hmm, that doesn't look sluggish to me; it looks more like it's jerky.
Comment 2 Felipe Kinoshita 2021-03-22 21:11:39 UTC
Sorry my english is not that good so it's hard to describe but the tooltip animations are not as fluid as the rest of plasma's animations, is like when you're playing some game and out of the blue, the fps drops.
