Bug ID: 451664
Summary: Window resizing effect gone
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: compositing
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I used to use this effect on my PC where, instead of updating the window as you
resized it, it displayed a semitransparent box, and the window repainted when
you let go of the mouse button. I really liked how this looked, and as it is
the window struggling to update as you scale it looks really janky and ugly,
not to mention laggy, even on my PC with a 1070ti and a Ryzen 7 3700x. For some
reason, this effect is gone and doesn't work on the newest update. I don't
remember its name since I had it constantly on on every KDE pc I used. Why is
this effect gone? I loved it. I assumed this was a glitch for a week and
assumed it'd be patched, but then I checked the desktop effect menu and it was
just gone.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Check Desktop Effects
OBSERVED RESULT
The effect is gone and windows jankily resize.
EXPECTED RESULT
The windows resize properly the nice way they were before.
