Screencast of the glitch

SUMMARY
When hovering over the items in a directory in the file open dialog, elements under the mouse pointer "move" slightly, like in some sort of "depression" animation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch an app that uses the file open dialog
2. Browse a directory
3. Hover over elements 

OBSERVED RESULT
Items that are hovered over show a slight displacement.

EXPECTED RESULT
Items that are hovered over stay still.

Comment 1 Massimiliano L 2025-04-06 11:51:20 UTC
Can confirm that:
- the issue does not depend on the application invoking the dialog being a Flatpak (can reproduce from KDE system settings)
- the issue does not depend on GPU (Intel Graphics and discrete AMD result in the same behaviour)

Seems to be from the (now outdated?) painting strategies: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/5ac54c685ca8edc78ca6f7c1d7f6b657635eea8a/src/widgets/kfileitemdelegate.cpp#L1116

Actually found a related MR https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1960 but the issue is still present in git master, hmm.
