Is "Sliding tooltips" a 3rd-party effect that you installed? I don't see anything like that installed by default on my system. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > Is "Sliding tooltips" a 3rd-party effect that you installed? I don't see > anything like that installed by default on my system. This effect is installed by Debian/Sid from the package: pp kwin-data the current version is: 4:5.27.3-1 which installs the directory: /usr/share/kwin/effects/kwin4_effect_morphingpopups in fact, by removing this directory, the effect no longer appears in the list. It is not an installation of user side but an effect managed by the package maintenance. Note that this effect is also present in the source provided by the repository:

Ah, it's the "Morphing Popups" effect, which has somehow been renamed to "Sliding Popups". Do you have any custom window rules set that could explain why the effect is inappropriately trying to animate drag-and-dropped desktop icons?

No windows rules are active. Even disabling all the other effects, the problem persists. I don't see other elements that can influence this behavior. Ok, thanks. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5861 Git commit d6360cc4ce4e0d85862a4bb077b8b3dc55cd74a7 by David Edmundson. Committed on 11/06/2024 at 19:58. Pushed by davidedmundson into branch 'master'. effects: Drop morphing popups effect The effect does not work very well for two main reasons: Some clients will make a new popup rather than move an existing one, so whether it does anything is highly unpredictable as a user. Popups can be of massively different sizes with different amounts of text. This means the text in the smaller popup gets resized which doesn't look like a natural in-between state of the two popups. This defeats the objective of looking smoother. On top of that, it's rather glitchy. This effect was purely visual, no functionality changes.
