Created attachment 144947 [details] Demonstation of this zooming bug SUMMARY Blurry background is broken with Zoom KWin effect. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open any applet from system tray (Show hidden icons works too) 2. Zoom in (Meta++), assuming the default "Zoom" variant — not a Magnifier, nor a Looking Glass. 3. Move cursor around OBSERVED RESULT Background is misrendered: sometimes as mis-positioned blur (as if it follows the direction opposite to the cursor's movements), in other cases it may not even be blurred at all. EXPECTED RESULT Should not glitch like that.

Git commit 544760469dd4fd7550fc7121250e694a485d453f by Vlad Zahorodnii. Committed on 24/05/2022 at 13:11. Pushed by vladz into branch 'Plasma/5.25'. effects/zoom: Render scene in an offscreen texture This fixes integration of the zoom effect with the blur effect and qtquick effects such as overview or window view. The main con of the proposed solution is that offscreen rendering can be a bit overkill. But on the other hand, it's the most robust way to ensure that fullscreen effects integrate correctly with the zoom effect. For example, without it, the quick scene effect would need to figure out what screen views to paint for the given screen. There are also more finicky cases, e.g. the screen transform effect.

OMG, this is so cool! Can't wait to get home and test it out. Thanks!
Is this also resolving this bug I reported in 2010 for KDE 4.5 ? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241557 That would be awesome!
> Is this also resolving this bug I reported in 2010 for KDE 4.5 ? > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241557 Looks like it. Although to be honest, I never experienced such a hard glitch as left-lover image trail on the first screenshot. Mind if we mark it as #resolved #fixed or #duplicate regardless?
