Created attachment 120577 [details] Video of described steps SUMMARY I describe the behaviour of application launcher which has more than one tab configured (i.e. default set of tabs). Closing launcher with any tab other than the first (left) selected makes launcher show animation of switching tabs when it is reopened. After that, the first (left) tab stays opened. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. If needed: configure application launcher so that it has more than one tab. 2. Open application launcher. 3. Choose any tab except the first (left). 4. Close launcher clicking somewhere else on your desktop. 5. Open application launcher. OBSERVED RESULT Last used tab is opened, then launcher instantly switches to the first (left) tab. EXPECTED RESULT A first (left) tab is opened. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: openSUSE Leap 15.1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.55.0 Qt Version: 5.9.7 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I assume that this happens in some systems but others open first tab instantly. If it is expected behaviour that just goes unnoticed on fast-performing setups I wish this bug report will become a request (severity "wishlist").
This was fixed in a later version of Plasma. You're using an older version: 5.12.8. For comparison, 5.16.0 is being released in a few days.

Thank you for the reply. This Youtube video of 5.16 beta gave me an impression that this bug might not be addressed yet (animation visible at 6:03): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6R1d8uCK10&feature=youtu.be&t=363 For now I will assume that it was fixed during 5.16 testing.
Feel free to re-open once you're using 5.16 if you still see it. I am and I don't, FWIW.
This behavior is still happening at least on Wayland session. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
Original poster here.. I was able to reproduce it in VM with recent Plasma acquired through openSUSE experimental repository for Leap 15.1. https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories#KDE_Frameworks_5.2C_Plasma_5_and_Applications Linux: openSUSE Leap 15.1 KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1
It's not a big deal, of course, but I will update this as it looks the same with Plasma 5.18.5 LTS installed in my system. Linux: openSUSE Leap 15.2 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0 Qt Version: 5.12.7

This behavior persists with the new Kickoff. open Kickoff click on "Places" on bottom close Kickoff re-open Kickoff We can notice Kickoff switching between Places and Favorites on opening.
this is intended behavior (that's how every launcher does this too)
What is the purpose of this annoying behavior?
tbh idk but this isn't a bug however you can propose to change the behavior (for all launchers) by creating a task at phabricator.kde.org
> tbh idk > > but this isn't a bug If users report annoyances that serve no clear purpose, that means it's a bug. :) Re-opening.
yeah but needs patches for other launchers as well (that's something to note) otherwise the behavior won't be consistent (tldr if you do a patch do it for all launchers, should be easy since they're all in the same repo)
What other launchers are you talking about? Kicker and Application Dashboard don't have tabs in the same way and are not affected by this issue.
Dashboard does though the set up is really close if you think about (both have two page with category sidebar) anyway I guess if more people complain it'll be fine to change
I don't see the issue with the dashboard. Regardless, if it's an issue there, we should fix it there too. But not having already fixed it there shouldn't block fixing it here. :) How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
fair though I'm a bit afraid that more people actually prefer the way it is however that can probably be worked out when there's an actual MR people can look at
Is it possible that there was some misunderstanding because of the title I made? A better version would be: "Animation of switching tabs is seen when Kickoff is activated". Just to make clear that starting with the first tab is not a problem itself; only waiting for the animation is an unexpected part.

Git commit 9d9c4f169ed424e976636a6d5fa23c7a1e40576b by Noah Davis. Committed on 19/07/2021 at 06:47. Pushed by ndavis into branch 'master'. Kickoff: Refactor and tweak design Changes: - Now uses implicit content size to set the size of the plasmoid, which fixes translated string elision issues. - Much simpler code. This is a red patch. - Reduced RAM usage. Pages that are not in use are unloaded. The models aren't unloaded, so it shouldn't negatively affect performance in other ways. - Vertical movement and opacity animation when switching from normal page to search view. - Single horizontal movement and opacity animation when switching from applications page to places page. - Opacity animation when switching from favorites grid to apps list. - KickoffListView and KickoffGridView now support PageUp, PageDown, Home, End, Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End shortcuts like lists and grids do on the web. See https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2/#grid - KickoffListView/KickoffGridView keyboard navigation disables hovering to change current item for 100ms. It's meant to filter out accidental mouse movement while using the arrow keys to navigate. - Add Ctrl+F shortcut to focus search bar - Focus the next item down when pressing down while the search bar is focused instead of focusing the 1st item. The old kickoff did this and made it faster to select and activate items. - Hovering near the bottom/top of a view no longer rapidly selects a series of new items lower down/higher up that are not yet visible. - Single letter section headers are now horizontally center aligned with icons. - Scroll to switch tabs. - Added pin button to keep the launcher open. - Show tooltips for list/grid items that have elided text. - Padding and spacing are more uniform. - List items have better vertical pixel alignment. - Fixed pixel alignment of arrows in sidebar category items - Sidebar list items line up with main content area list items and section headers - Labels in grid items now have consistent vertical positions. - Fixed error in tools.js with favoriteModel.enabled Related: bug 433103, bug 432270, bug 439140, bug 434736, bug 431913, bug 433146, bug 433241 FIXED-IN: 5.23 M +7 -3 applets/kickoff/package/contents/config/main.xml M +55 -97 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ActionMenu.qml D +0 -142 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsGroupView.qml A +140 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0 -358 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ApplicationsView.qml A +88 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/BasePage.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] D +0 -55 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/BaseView.qml D +0 -70 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Breadcrumb.qml D +0 -41 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ComputerView.qml M +31 -11 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/ConfigGeneral.qml A +30 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/EmptyPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0 -129 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FavoritesGridView.qml D +0 -133 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FavoritesView.qml A +193 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Footer.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] D +0 -20 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FrequentlyUsedView.qml M +119 -736 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/FullRepresentation.qml M +186 -146 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Header.qml A +59 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/HorizontalStackView.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +53 -27 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/Kickoff.qml D +0 -93 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffGridItem.qml M +200 -288 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffGridView.qml D +0 -175 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffItem.qml A +227 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffItemDelegate.qml [License: GPL (v2+)] M +211 -288 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffListView.qml A +137 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/KickoffSingleton.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +43 -104 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/LeaveButtons.qml A +53 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/NormalPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] A +76 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/PlacesPage.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] D +0 -22 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/PlacesView.qml D +0 -18 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/RecentlyUsedView.qml D +0 -87 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/SearchView.qml D +0 -42 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/SectionDelegate.qml A +61 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/VerticalStackView.qml [License: LGPL(v2.0+)] M +1 -1 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/code/tools.js A +2 -0 applets/kickoff/package/contents/ui/qmldir https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/commit/9d9c4f169ed424e976636a6d5fa23c7a1e40576b
