Description bodiro 2017-10-11 06:49:29 UTC 
Since 5.11 desktop-cubes have to be activated manually by ALT-Shift-F12 any time I start plasma.

What is "desktop-cubes"?

What is in German "Arbeitsflächen-Würfel".

Alt+shift+f12 is the shortcut to activate compositing. Not the desktop cube.

I understand, but nevertheless: when I start plasma 5.11 changing workspaces is without any animation. Alt-shift-f12 activates it. I was used to have this feature activated by starting plasma. I do not understand, what could have changed. I updated my Neon from 5.10.5 to 5.11 and from the first start this new behaviour appeared. On my notebook everything went fine, by the way. I use amd-grafics on my desktop-pc.

"Compositing" put me on the trace :-)
The updating process must have deactivated "compositor active on startup". I found that now in systemsettings and acitvated it. It works as expected. Problem solved.
Thanks for caring!
