SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Disable animations (in kdeglobals: [KDE] AnimationDurationFactor=0.0) 2. Open Dolphin 3. Toggle "Show All Entries" in places panel Applications can query the QStyle::SH_Widget_Animation_Duration stylehint. OBSERVED RESULT New entries are faded in EXPECTED RESULT They are just there, no fading SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS git master

I think this isn't related to hover effects, it looks like this animation happens when you select "Show all entries",
