Description Christian (Fuchs) 2022-07-23 21:26:00 UTC

SUMMARY
The new window overview effect introduced in 5.25 uses a hardcoded effect duration of PlasmaCore.Units.longDuration set in effects/windowview/qml/main.qml#L26   (Current main) instead of using the user set, plasma-wide effect duration

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure an animation duration for plasma
2. Start the overview effect

OBSERVED RESULT
No impact

EXPECTED RESULT
Effect uses the configured duration

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
All platforms

PlasmaCore.Units.longDuration automatically scales itself according to the user's animation speed preference. I cannot reproduce the issue; when I set my animation duration to be super duper slow and hit Ctrl+F10 to open Window View, it opens and closes very slowly.

Can you clarify how you're getting the issue to reproduce?

Okay, that's odd, I didn't get any change when using the slider, but it was very jerky and cut-off-y in general, so maybe something else was wrong. I'll try to reproduce it after my holidays

I have absolutely no idea how, but I am unable to reproduce this any more. 
Sorry for the noise, closed.

No worries!
