Is it an animated gif or a static gif? Can you attach the wallpaper file you're using that makes this happen? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Is it an animated gif or a static gif? Can you attach the wallpaper file > you're using that makes this happen? The file is an animated GIF and have used different GIF files with the same broken results. I am unable to upload the GIF (or zip) file due to upload size limit, so here is the imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/DhVF77i Thank you for responding back. imgur turned it into an mp4 video! Any chance yo can find somewhere to host it that will preserve the file type? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > imgur turned it into an mp4 video!

My apologies, heres a google drive link of the file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_TMcxlkx3c-IdJxhzfgVzlIQZwiz51ds/view?usp=sharing The file should be a gif file and easy to download. Thanks. I can't reproduce the issue with that wallpaper on my Wayland system with 200% scale and an Intel HD620 iGPU. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > Thanks.

My apologies for the late reply, but I've bought a 6800 xt amd gpu and had no issues with my wallpaper crashing. Although it does not work on the lock screen but I don't think it was intended to be used for it. Can't reproduce on a rtx 3060 either |
Created attachment 157538 [details] Screenshot of application windows not working SUMMARY Using wayland with a gif background can cause some applications to break and glitch when resizing or moving. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start plasma session on wayland 2. Have or switch to a gif background 3. Run any application and resize/move to break OBSERVED RESULT Resizing windows, moving or watching a video fullscreen causes freezes/glitches EXPECTED RESULT Not glitch or freeze when resizing, moving or watching videos. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Nobara37 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel: 6.2.6-201 NVIDIA Driver: 525.85.05 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Some example applications of not working: firefox, kdenlive, discord, scrcpy. Having a nvidia graphics card can also be the main issue but I am not too sure. The only temporary fix is to not use a gif background.
