Description Liz Lee 2024-05-11 17:24:55 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select the magic lamp effect for minimizing windows to the task manager in plasma 5.27.11
2. Update to plasma 6.0.4

OBSERVED RESULT
Magic lamp effect AND squash effect are rendered simultaneously when minimizing windows, leading to a glitchy look.

EXPECTED RESULT
Only the magic lamp effect should be rendered.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 40, wayland
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0
Qt Version: 6.7.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Once the magic lamp effect or the squash effect has been chosen in the system settings after the update to Plasma 6.0.4 everything works normally, the issues disappears.
Though it can be remediated very easily, it still doesn't make a good first impression.
