Description Guillaume DE BURE 2012-11-25 14:19:19 UTC 
In 4.9.80, there is no animation in the "Circular Swicth" effect : in previous versions, windows glided smoothly between their positions. No windows just jump between  position. It's a bit difficult to explain, so if the report is not understandable, I can make a screencast.

Thanks !

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Thomas Lübking 2012-11-25 14:27:52 UTC 
Altering component on the vague guess that "circular switch" is coverswitch?
Window-tabbing was wrong for sure though.

@Guillaume
Can you provide the untranslated (not re-translated ;-) name of the item or make a snapshot?
In case of cover or flip switch, what about the resp. settings in "kcmshell4 kwincompositing"?

Indeed, coverswitch, sorry for the wrong translation :)

Patch for issue

animation duration was set to always 0
Comment 8 Thomas Lübking 2012-11-25 16:37:31 UTC 
"ship it!" 
(while reimplemting CoverSwitchConfig::duration() would of course be much nicer - price for xml settings ;-)

I have an idea for that problem - going to put something on review board

Git commit 246822013ccc810b90ccfb925f73de9d3479a4bc by Martin Gräßlin.

Introduce a templated animationTime overload for the KConfigXT case

This method can be used to get the animationTime in case a configuration
class generated through KConfigXT is used. In general the configuration
stores the magic value 0 for a property "duration". This magic value
indicates that a hard-coded default value should be used.

So the common logic to test the stored value for 0 and then either pass
the stored value or the default value to animationTime is encapsulated
in this method in a generic way.

A MyEffect can use it in the following way:
animationTime<MyEffectConfig>(200);
