STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the window minimize animation to "Magic Lamp" in the Animations settings page, then hit Apply. 2. Make sure at least one panel is set to floating. 3. Maximize a window or just make it touch the panel to make the panel un-float. 4. Now minimize said window, make sure this triggers the panel to re-float. OBSERVED RESULT The screen noticeably stutters and pauses briefly during the minimization animation. The stutter affects the entire composited scene, the mouse cursor also freezes briefly. EXPECTED RESULT No stutters SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Windowing System: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This bug happens only when the following criteria is met: - At least one panel is set to floating. - The "Magic Lamp" effect/animation must be enabled. - At most one window causing the floating panel(s) to un-float. - Only when minimizing the window, never when restoring it, although this triggers the panel animation. If any of the above factors aren't present, the issue doesn't occur. The presence or absence of other effects or animations doesn't seem to affect the outcome. I've only started to get this issue recently (last month or so), even though I've always been using this same combination of settings and regularly maximizing/minimizing windows, I suspect it may be a regression somewhere.
