Created attachment 153011 [details] Resizing windows with different animation speeds SUMMARY The speed of resizing a window seems to be affected by the animation speed set in system settings. When the animation speed is slower than instant, this makes resizing windows feel laggy in my opinion. This gets more apparent when disabling translucency in the desktop effects. I'm not entirely sure whether this is a bug or expected behavior. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set animation speed in system settings to instant 2. Resize a window 3. Set animation speed to medium 4. Resize a window, observe window resize effect lagging behind mouse cursor OBSERVED RESULT Window size updates slower when the animation speed is not set to instant. EXPECTED RESULT Expected window to update instantly, no matter which animation speed is set. In case this is expected behavior, is there any way to set animation speed of specific animations in kwin, so that I could make the windows resize instantly without setting instant animation speed for all animations? SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.99.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 6.0.2-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor Memory: 15,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2
Just tested and this affects X11 only, under Wayland this does not happen at all.
I'm confused by this bug report. Animation speed has no influence over resizing speed in kwin.

What I'm trying to say is, when resizing a window on X11 with an animation speed slower than instant, the window geometry lags behind the mouse pointer. I'm not saying that animation speed directly affects window resize speed, I simply wasn't sure. Did you take a look at the video I uploaded with the report? I think it's more obvious there.
