Excellent notes, I hope they help the developers pin down a quick fix for this
particular feature. Are we sure the right people were properly notified, just
by submitting this bug report thread? I see duplicate reports of this same
issue, the only one that has any discussion is this report, and the only one
that was acknowledged (last release) was
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444678. There was even an unrelated
regression caused by this commit that has already been fixed:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442518. 

I tried to work the previous patch/diff into the current code earlier today,
but as you noted too much has changed and the issue should simply be addressed.
Going to roll back to 5.23 for now and cross fingers that this gets the eyes it
needs.

I must agree that the new Overview is a step apart from the Desktop Grid
workflow many users have become accustomed to, and it would be a game-breaker
if the grid were to be phased out for good. It's beyond useful hitting a hotkey
for a snappy exploded view of all windows across desktops, then a single click
to zoom directly to that window and focus it for input. I use window rules too,
so I can know precisely where my applications are across 4 virtual desktops and
2 screens. The MacOS/Gnome-inspired vision does not work this way
fundamentally, and while an upcoming "show all desktops" function for the
Overview sounds interesting, isn't that what the Desktop Grid + Overview effect
should accomplish? 


Slightly off-topic for this report, but Windows 10 has a small cosmetic issue
cosmically similar to the Kwin bug we're looking at here, and it drives me up
the wall just the same. 
When the ill-fated Timeline feature was integrated into the existing (and fully
functioning) Task View in 2018, it introduced animation/pop-in stutter when
entering and exiting the overview grid that persists to this day, even if
Timeline is stubbed out. Anyone can observe it on a clean install of the latest
Win10 on any hardware/vm, but discussion on the issue never went far outside of
"oh wells", as there's no real way to bring a specific issue like that to
Microsoft to fix (not to mention the lack of attention around the Task View
feature in the first place). Makes me appreciate the community here that's
willing to put their own time and effort in to pin down issues.
