Video showing the bug, all animations in kdeglobal/dolphinrc are disabled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin.
2. Ensure the Information Panel is visible (View -> Panels -> Information Panel or F11).
3. Ensure previews (e.g., for images) are enabled in the Information Panel settings.
4. Select a file with a preview (e.g., a landscape image). Observe the preview in the panel.
5. Immediately select another file with a preview that has a significantly different aspect ratio (e.g., a portrait image or a square one).

OBSERVED RESULT
The preview image widget in the Information Panel visibly and rapidly scales/resizes from the previous preview's dimensions/aspect ratio to the new one's. This creates a jarring visual "jump", "jitter" or animation effect that is independent of the global KDE/Qt animation settings.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ideally, the new preview image should appear instantly without any visible scaling animation or transition from the previous preview's dimensions. Alternatively, there should be a setting to disable this specific scaling effect, or it should respect the global `AnimationsEnabled=false` / `AnimationDurationFactor=0.0` settings in `kdeglobals`.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (Using Cinnamon DE, not Plasma)
Qt Version: qt6-base 6.9.0-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Standard methods to disable animations (`AnimationsEnabled=false`, `AnimationDurationFactor=0.0` in `~/.config/kdeglobals`) have been tried and do *not* affect this specific preview scaling behavior in the information panel.
- Attempting to set `AnimationDurationFactor=0` within the `[KDE]` section of `~/.config/dolphinrc` also had no effect on this behavior.
- The effect is visually distracting and uncomfortable, especially when browsing quickly through many files (like photos) with varying aspect ratios.
- Using Arch Linux with Cinnamon DE, Dolphin installed from official Arch repositories. Windowing system is X11.
