[kwin] [Bug 455521] WindowHeap-based effects open and close way too fast

Hey all! I've tested using neon-testing-20220816-1836.iso and found some
things. The changes to the Windowheap duration are there and match up precisely
with the rest of Kwin on my desktop and laptop at default config. To note, my
desktop has AMDGPU and laptop has a basic Intel chip, but neither GPU or their
driver made a difference in Kwin... until I started playing with Vsync:

Bypassing Vsync with env variables seems to cause at least one effect (the
older Slide Back) to animate at the unlocked rate. It's only *slightly* faster
and much less noticeable on the embedded Intel (~50-60fps), while it's close to
instant and horrible on the AMD desktop (Kwin FPS meter reports 144 but seems
like 300+fps on that effect). The new Windowheap effects (and 9 out of 10 other
effects I tried like Minimize/Open/Close) are not affected by this, and respect
the duration regardless of sync/refresh rate. 

I narrowed down this Vsync variable for testing, and can replicate the behavior
to a T by logging in again after setting and enabling Slide Back. Reloading
plasmashell + kwin_x11 in the same session doesn't apply it, only a full
logoff/logon:

echo "export KWIN_X11_NO_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1" >
$HOME/.config/plasma-workspace/env/vsync.sh

Not sure yet which all effects are affected, or if other vsync parameters could
cause others to be thrown off, but it's evident some portion of Kwin may be
tied to Vsync/refresh rate and indirectly touching durations/timings. I'm
interested in digging deeper and finding out what's going on in detail. 

How does this factor in with y'alls setups and animations? Vsync on or off in
your day-to-day, and does it make a difference if you toggle? I've always set
Vsync on using xorg.conf (TearFree in AMDGPU driver and
ForceFullCompositionPipeline in Nvidia for years previous), but i'm sure
hundreds if not thousands of users have a vsync preference that this might
affect.

I'm not sure this is the case: the Overview effect had it's 200ms value set
early on in development and the faster transitions were evident in the 5.24
beta compared to the old Grid in that release. 
5.25 brought the new QML Desktop Grid using that shared code, so it inherited
the same speed discrepancy.

>maybe let more users check it out on the 5.26 release and see if they like it.

I am grateful this is getting more community feedback now before it ends up in
a wider release, because there may still be an underlying issue. 
I'm wondering if these QML effects (all three) are converting or scaling the
values unintentionally, or via a lower level portion of Kwin

I am really starting to think that the speeds in 5.25 became faster because of
the AnimationDurationFactor (the speed slider) got moved into kdeglobals
instead of kwinrc. I didn't notice any speed up from 5.24 to 5.25 ( and since I
have been running git version for years now, I would have noticed it just as I
noticed this change ). See bug which was just "recently" fixed:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431259

By the way ... was the bug report closed overhasty? I thought it was closed
because of the commit.

Anyway i guess I reported my findings (I will test a live neon iso on the
weekend), maybe let more users check it out on the 5.26 release and see if they
like it. maybe I am the odd one here, using the present windows effect too
much.

Thanks for your time ! :)

That’s the big misunderstanding here and probably why this bug report was
closed so overhasty: The code is deceptive in this case. There was something
altered somewhere else, making the values run faster or whatnot, I don’t know.
But 5.25 speeds were definitely extremely accelerated. You will see it in

Yes, I use kdesrc-build against master branch for testing, while my system KDE
is 5.25.4 release. My test prep is setting Desktop Grid to Custom layout for
2x2 grid with 4 virtual desktops, nothing else changed from defaults aside from
global animation slider while testing.

BTW, it doesn't look like the merge to change the duration has made it into KDE
Neon just yet, my eyes noticed on a fresh boot, and the build logs match up
(neon-testing-20220809-1823.iso while the commit and build for kwin went in on
8/10 via https://build.neon.kde.org/). Next one should have this change, I'm
looking forward to testing it from iso too.

I think this is an excellent idea, simplifies config in a good way, and
wouldn't be too hard to implement. It's hard to think of a use case that would
desire the outer edges of the global slider, a default center and two or three
ticks to each side seems much more reasonable. A new merge request for
enhancement would be the best way to move that forward.

The previous speed of Present Windows were fine, and it was when I switched to
it as an alt tab replacement. I also checked the code:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/v5.23.0/src/effects/presentwindows/presentwindows.cpp#L164

I will test a live iso later on. Like I said on my previous comment, I use the
1 tick slider speed anim to the left, which makes ALL animations smooth and
consistent. Overview seems smooth, but now noticeable slow, and others super
fast. Also, the speed can be related to the bug I mentioned on the previous
commit, when it was changed from kwinrc to kdeglobals, and the speed was reset
(making it faster to those that had a slower speed factor on kwinrc. I am
speculating here, could be, probably isn't).

hum... I actually prefer the present windows/overview effect to the grid
layout, but I know the effect you mention, since I use the small grid as alt
tab. I just don't like alt tab as much as I prefer to see all windows scaled on
the screen.

I don't think 5.25's speeds are faster. Looking at the code, they are slower.
But in my mind, some effects shouldn't have more "elegance" than others, they
all should have elegance (especially no frame skipping). That is why, again, I
used the 1.4 factor, which would probably put the timings around 300ms from the
200ms (and with it, all the effects were buttery smooth).

Maybe 300ms is a good middle ground, if you also feel it is a touch slower. But
as to how it should be, that isn't for me to say, nor I am part of the VDG nor
a "usability expert". If the goal is to have some effects fast and some slow,
and I am the only one with an issue to it, then nevermind, I will adapt to it
some way.


Thanks!

Alexandre, may I ask how you have perceived the speed of the old implementation
of Present Windows (pre-Overview) until Plasma 5.24? Could you test with a live
CD? In my perception, this new values are just a touch slower than the old, 300
ms feels just a bit closer to my eye. But like my whole bug report and the
Reddit thread with dozens of upvotes found, 200 ms is definitely way too fast.
If you have used it like an Alt + Tab replacement, maybe look into the Alt +
Tab window switcher settings, there is a grid layout you can chose. Present
Windows, Overview and the actual Grid should have another speed with more
elegance, signaling also your current window positions. That’s how this effect
series worked since Plasma 4, Compiz and on their origins in OS X. Plasma
5.25’s speeds just were a shortsighted fault of the reimplemetation.

Its strange, here it was "on par" with other effects, which I then used a 1.4
animation factor ( one tick just to the left of default ).

Yes, i agree, the extreme values are way ... extreme :) If Nate has no issue, I
could supply a patch to make it less "extreme" and more granular.
Its extremely weird, because the other effects are all around 150ms~200ms. even
old present windows. And here is very very noticeable.

I can try a kde neon live cd in the weekend or earlier if I can. But that
setting is correct here. I tend to keep an eye on it, because there was a bug
that used to reset it, which David Edmundson fixed. ( he also fixed other bugs,
like this one:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/0bb3eb2baf5b0a4c0aacbe23bf55c47c0a2c39fd
).


Just to clear one possible issue, you are also using kde git version, correct?
Also as a workaround, the slide/glide effect allow to specify the duration.
Overriding it to 400 makes it more similar in timings to the overview/present
windows now.

So something weird is happening here... I don't know if its not my system at
fault, but I checked the kwinrc variable (it should NOT have one) and the
kdeglobals one (which can actually be a custom number if one edits it
manually).

Interesting, I wonder if another factor is at play or causing the scaling to be
wrong in cases. On my system and liveCD tests, the merged changes to duration
and easing cause the WindowHeap transitions to match every other effect, when
they didn't before. Even the old duration of 300ms is too quick. 

I just spun up a new local user with no config, tried plus and minus 2 ticks on
the global Animation Speed slider, and compared the Overview and Desktop Grid
against the open/close Window Animations (Fade, Glide, Scale) and Minimize
effects, they still match up for me and look very consistent. Even extremes on
the scale match up, and i'm honestly wondering why the scale is so large as the
center 5 ticks are the most distinct.

Could something in config be overriding the duration and throwing things off on
some environments but not all? For instance, I removed this line in my config a
year or so ago (around 5.23 release when things regressed) to fix the issue in
the title: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263845. 
It makes me wonder if a similar thing is occurring with the Windowheap effects
for some users, possibly even the systems that 400ms look good on (liveCD
though..) I've also tested the durations with a 60hz laptop while on a trip
this last week, to rule out higher refresh displays being an edge case.

Hi,

This is just a matter of taste/opinion, i guess... but as a heavy present
windows/overview user, this is now way too slow. As using present windows as
almost an alt+tab replacement, its now ... weird ...

Worse, i guess, is that it feels completely disconnected with other animation
speeds: window opening, closing, fading, minimizing, plasma popups sliding.

for example: 
* sliding popups is 150ms
* slide (open/close) is 200ms and glide is 160ms
* fade is 150 ms


The issue with 400 for me, is that is completely set apart from the rest of
kde's animations, making me unable to control it (set it faster, makes
everything super fast... make everything "normal speed", present windows/
overview seem super slow )

Could a middle ground be achieved on this ?

Thanks !

As an every-10-minutes user of the Desktop Grid for quite a while, the effect
is effectively broken for me in 5.25 due to the inconsistent animation speed
relative to all other existing Kwin effects. The Zoom duration (formerly an
exposed property in settings pre-refactor) does NOT match the global slider,
and neither do the Windowheap arrangements. This is not a placebo, users here
have already demonstrated with high-framerate recordings that mirror my own
experience (X11 on 144hz monitors). 

The goal of the QML rewrite at
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/7a4cabf3287e82e7d1d6ba84b8b059ab470f9f42
is to "be a change as transparent as possible for the user", and this animation
mismatch goes against that description. For the Desktop Grid in particular,
<5.22 had a fully featured grid effect and system-matching transitions, before
animation bugs were introduced in 5.23. Shouldn't that experience be the
example that the Deskop Grid's QML refactor intends to replace? It takes a
little time to smooth things out in refactors, this and other issues shouldn't
be dismissed out of hand! 

With this attached band-aid of a patch built on 5.25.2, the Desktop Grid+window
transitions almost convince me that I am back on the 5.22-era grid (outside of
other reported bugs with window layout). I have been pleased with this
adjustment for a full work week, and I encourage anyone willing to try the
patch and adjust the values for themselves to see if we can dig up what's going
on. I've been comparing against the "Slide Back" Kwin window effect that does
honor the global speed slider. 

I hope this helps to uncover an underlying issue that fixes all of the new
effect durations at once. A quick fix for the Overview effect may work the same
way, but I only use the Desktop Grid in day-to-day so that is the only
component I focused on, and this patch is only to demonstrate that the
animation duration can be adjusted to match the global animation experience,
that the issue is not just in our heads. This problem needs to be considered
across the board for these effects, as users like myself very much notice the
difference between these animation behaviors in the last few versions.

The patch does the following:

-  Doubles effect.animationDuration for the Desktop Grid and it's window
heap section. You'd think that would be too much, but with this patch, Desktop
Grid (and KDE as a whole) match my 5.22 preference animation preference
EXACTLY. The windows even have the slight inertia bounce that they had before,
the new "stiffness" of the animation is gone.
Is something causing the variable to be set to the wrong speed for these new
effects, and is it actually an exact half of what it should be? I've tested
this at different levels of global animation speed but not thoroughly (I use 9
marks on the global slider for work). I tried ranging the value between 1.2, to
1.8, 2.2 to 3x duration, only 2x feels correct. The adjustment must be
consistent across all instances of the animationDuration variable, or the
windows will reposition faster than the grid zoom duration, etc. I also
considered that the global animation speed value can sometimes "stick" by
becoming set under animationDurationFactor in kwinrc, this was not the case in
my tests, the global slider was effective each time I adjusted. 

- The exit animation/duration are still broken as well, unless
effect.deactivate() is called by event.key. Currently this is only called by
Esc key, the action of switching desktops, and Left Click/Tap. 
Shouldn't the activation hotkey also be defined as an exit action along with
Esc to properly call the animation and other exit functions? This was the
behavior in 5.22, one could enter and exit the grid without lifting a hand off
the hotkey. Right now the activation hotkey will cause the exit animation to
fly by at the wrong speed by while Esc and Left Click are smooth as silk and
consistent with the global setting. 
I hardcoded the Tab key alongside Esc to test and it is present in the patch:
this has worked for me to smoothly exit the grid with half of my hotkey
(Win+Tab), but that is not a fix. My next challenge is going to be trying to
work the grid activation hotkey in so it can be properly toggled with a double
keystroke, it would be worth a Merge discussion at that point.

I have made a video comparison in 60 fps 4K between the Plasma 5.25
reimplementations and their 5.24 speeds. First, I show you the 5.24 animations
speed, then the 5.25 animations speed, followed by a side-by-side view,
followed by this side-by-side-view in 50% video slowdown – for both Present
Windows and Desktop Grid. You will probably see: It’s not just imagination, the
speedups are real and they make the effects look worse.

https://youtu.be/d1isioNwgP4

To cite a Reddit user: »There are two kinds of animation: those who make the UI
look fancy and those who are an important part of a feature. If you close a
window and it e.g. fades out it mainly looks fancy. That can be fast, it can be
slow, it doesn't change functionality. Desktop Grid on the other hand should
communicate to the user were windows are moving in the overview, if that's to
fast, the functionality breaks.«
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/vnf5fx/desktop_grid_effect_on_plasma_525_is_too_fast/

That’s what I was calling »downright irritatingly fast« and your dismissal of
it just was »speed is always relative«.
This Reddit thead about the too fast Desktop Grid currently has 64 upvotes.

It’s not as obvious in the Present Windows effect but with a slower global
speed setting, it feels more like in 5.24 too. My video comparison proves the
claim about the visually faster speeds. Be sure to watch it in 60 fps.
I beg you to reconsider this choice. The new defaults trouble a lot of us
users. ;(

Looks like 100% of people commented agreed that the effect is too fast.

>From my end, I think if nobody complains about the speed of the _old_ Desktop
Grid, there won't be any if the _new_ one has a similar speed 

@cyberlyncx made a nice demonstration video that I think I should include here:

After doing a side-by-side comparison, I can indeed confirm that the
implementation in Plasma 5.25 is animated more swiftly, that's especially
apparent for the "window grid" effect and less apparent for "present windows".

While I am on the slower side of animations anyways – usually I have the speed
settings on the 7th mark and only changed them for reproducing this bug – I do
understand the appeal of a "snappy" UX by default. If that default changed over
time to accustom the changing general animation expectations that'd be fine,
it's just the the proportional speed of effects within the same speed setting
needs to be wholistic and matching. And this speed change in the two effects
mentioned is messing with this well-rounded proportions a bit.

Once again without typos:

Nate, it is one step faster on 5.25 than on 5.24. I now have to lower the
global speed setting one step lower than on 5.24 to get the same speed
elegance. I had it on the 8th mark and now I need to set it to the 7th to
achieve the same – but this makes all other animations slower as well.

It might have been my mistake to combine this report with a recommendation for
a general lowering, which you are refering to. But it is distinctive faster
than before. And it is faster than on macOS and the old Compiz too, which are
my mental benchmarks.

Go grab a live CD with an older Plasma release and compare the two. This new
implementation is clearly faster. Please reconsider this choice. ;(

I have my global animation slider on the 8th mark too and it in no way feels
"irritatingly fast" to me. Speed is always relative, but if we made this any
slower by default we would surely get bug reports about the opposite thing:
that it's become too slow, and people don't want to have to change their global
animation speed to be faster to speed it up. I think we have to keep this the
way it is, sorry.
