GTK animations are not enabled on login

Hey there,

I’ve been running into an issue lately, where upon login GTK’s animations (eg. spinner in gtk4-demo or animations/smooth-scrolling in Firefox) would be turned off regardless of what the animation speed is set in system settings.

When I however change the animation speed in any way that makes it greater than 0, the GTK finally picks up on it and animations/smooth-scrolling is enabled again.

I’m sort of hesitant to report this as a bug-report, since this could be just a misconfiguration/corrupted config on my side, given that I’m using the same config coming from 2022 and Plasma 5.

Hence why I’m here — could I get some pointers on where should I look in terms of config files, what module is responsible for the Gtk settings syncing, how or where to get related logs from it and such?

Thanks in advance.

The first thing I had to do to clean up Plasma 6 was to completely remove the configs, and then carefully import only what I needed… .config and .cache

But you’re using a config from 2022 - that’s kinda ridiculous, definitely that needs to be moved out of the way to get a clean start.

Anyway, you’ll be glad to know that the GTK demo (spinner) is super smooth for me.
