Bug ID: 501659
Summary: No Way for Users to Block Animation
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: "Manage Desktop and Panels" window
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: erw...@alumni.beloit.edu
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The Plasma desktop includes a great deal of animation. This makes it
inaccessible for users who get sick from the animation.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE and OBSERVED RESULTS
1. Open a new kde or plasma desktop, with its default settings.
2. There is an animated loading animation, *before* users can get to any
settings to block animation.
3. There may be an update alert with its own animation.
4. Open the Settings, and set animation speed to instand. Apply.
5. Close the Settings which will involve yet another animation.
6. Reopen the settings and try to search for other accessibility fixes. The
text caret continues to fire its blinking animation, despite setting animation
to instant.
7. Search for cursor or caret. There is no sign of any setting to stop the
blinking animation.
8. Open another application. There will be an intensely animated loading
animation.
9. Trouble seeing where the animations fire, disorientation, nausea, and/or
headaches.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. I can't say I *expect* software to let me avoid the animation, but I think
it should let users avoid any animation that want to avoid, including blinking
cursors.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I don't know. I encountered the bug on Fedora Linux, but I'm reporting it from
another system.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I was unable to log into discuss.kde.org; it kept looping back to the login
screen.
I can't read the components list here.
