Bug ID: 516783
Summary: Minimizing a window via kdotool defers the animation
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.5.5
Reported In:
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-window-management
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When a window is on another virtual desktop or activity and is not visible at
the moment, and it is minimized via kdotool, the animation is deferred until
the desktop/activity is visible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a window on an activity
2. Switch to another activity
3. kdotool search --name <app> windowminimize %@
4. Switch back to the activity
OBSERVED RESULT
The window minimize animation plays
EXPECTED RESULT
No animation plays on the activity/desktop switch, as the animation should be
timed with the minimize, not with the activity/desktop becoming visibile
