SUMMARY This issue affects both Arch Linux and Neon unstable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open kickoff 2. click on "Applications" tab 3. click on any app category 4. click on any app OBSERVED RESULT immediately after the last step, kickoff shows a sliding effect from right to left and then closes EXPECTED RESULT kickoff should close immediately after the last step, without sliding effect. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.67.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1 Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1
Pointless sliding when we click on an app perists with new kickoff. We can set a slower animation speed in General Behavior KCM to make it more noticeable. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.83.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland
I think I found the general problem. When you click on a launchable item, the favorites item also gets activated afterwards, so that it will show that view the next time yo open Kickoff. However activating the favorites item triggers another slide animation to fire. It should not.
This code is too convoluted for me to figure out the rest right now. Moving onto something else. Maybe someone else can fix it.
Marco fixed it in Bug 437558. :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 437558 ***
