I’m having a problem with Plasma 6.5.5. After every system restart, the window opening/closing animation in the settings under “Animations” reverts to its original setting, causing flickering when closing windows.
After each restart, the setting is set to “Swipe,” and I have to click " default Preferences" at the bottom to change it back to the “Scale” animation. Once I do this, the windows close without flickering again.
I dont know what causes this. Is there any solution to fix this issue?
This is new - The Window open/close animations available in Plasma are:
Did you install/add another animation called ‘Swipe’? maybe if you remove that it’ll help.
Take a look also at ~/.config/kwinrc where you can remove any reference to ‘swipe’.
Before you start, it might be an idea to create a new USER to see if the same issue occurs there - this is most likely something in your configs - possibly a permission issue that’s stopping the setting from writing to the config file.
ls -l ~/.config/kwinrc should return permissions .rw------
You can also take a look in the folder:
~/.local/share/kwin/effects/
The flicker on closing windows happens on a clean installation too, and so far only with Manjaro. I haven’t seen it on other distros. What I do is change the animation from Glide to Scale and open kwinrc to edit the line regarding Glide to:
glideEnabled=false
Then save it. This stops a reboot from changing it back and causing the flickering problem.
Sorry, that’s probably a bad translation. What I meant should be the Glide animation. And after every reboot i have to reset the default settings to Scale. And as soon as i did this, the flickering on closing windows is gone
