Summary: Jumpy browser's resizing animation on Plasma 5.18.0
Product: kwin

Status: REPORTED

Intel Modesetting driver
SUMMARY
Resizing animation of a browser's window is horrible, the window shakes like a
jelly and in not a nice way. The biggest issue is however the WHITE GAP BETWEEN
TITLEBAR AND THE REST OF THE WINDOW that shows up when we resize down when
using Intel Modesetting driver that adds to the jumpy effect.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Intel Modesetting Xorg session and then try the same under Nvidia.
2. Open any browser and set to your favorite search engine (it works everywhere
but to keep it comparable, let's stick to search engines).
3. Grab the left or right bottom corner, and resize the window making rotating
moves.
OBSERVED RESULT
The content's of the window is shaking and animation is not smooth. It may be
the browser's issue. However, with Intel Modesetting driver, we can see at
moments a white gap between titlebar and the rest of the window that closes
quickly, adding to the jumping effect. Most probably this is the effect that we
need to debug and fix. That issue with white gap is not present on Nvidia but
resizing animation on a browser is ugly anyway.
EXPECTED RESULT
No white gape and resize effect should look smoother.
I can't be sure but I never noticed it before Plasma 5.18, so I don't know the
bug was there before, but it somehow popped up after installing the update so
it's possible something got worse.

I'm posting two videos showing this problem. One with Intel Modesetting, the
other one with Nvidia. Excuse me that the vids are short, I had to keep them
short to get small size needed for bugzilla.
