Can you define "long"? Are we talking about 5 seconds or 1 minute? Is this on X11 or Wayland?
X11 In the past, there was no delay. Today randomly 5 s, 15 s, 20 s
Could you take a video of what's happening using your phone? That would help. Thanks.
I made some experiments today. It's not a KDE problem.
Cool, thanks for following up! Out of curiosity, what was the problem?
I use clight instead of night color. It is feature richer than night color. In particular clight adapts the screen brightness to the ambient light with a light sensor or the webcam as a light sensor. It gets a necessary feature : we can stop it with a command in a script when launching VLC or digikam. I used clight for months without any problem. For one week or two I got this problem. KDE in September evolves a lot (plasma, framework, gears) Clight did not evolve. Perhaps the evolution of KDE brings to light an inconsistency between the two.
