--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- > This is not a Kate bug Indeed I was just realising, after filing this, that it happens with other applications too, although I had only noticed it with Kate until now. I probably very rarely open files with double click other than text files. > The bouncing animation has a static duration. I'm astonished. You mean it makes no attempt whatsoever to stop as soon as either failure or success to open whatever is being open is detected? I understand there being a _maximum_ duration, a timeout after which it would stop if neither success or failure is detected with certainty, to prevent the icon from bouncing around forever. But the issue is not that maximum being too long or too short, the issue is that there either is no such mechanism (stopping the animation earlier if the file loads earlier), or it's not working. Mmmmmm wait a moment. This does not happen, for example, if I double-click on a PDF file. It opens very quicky in Okular, and the bouncing icon stops immediately. Same with .gz files and image files (not only with double-click but also with right-click "open with"). All these behave as expected. I remember seeing the issue yesterday with something other than Kate but I don't remember what it was. With most files, the duration of the animation is exactly how long it takes to load the file, and it varies, it would be hard to believe it's a coincidence. What I'm saying is, I understand it's not Kate, but I don't understand how this can be systemsettings. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
