[BUG] Weird extension behaviour in Ubuntu 24.04
Describe the bug I upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04. When using the system, I pressed Alt-Tab and the behaviour of the extension was so weird all of a sudden. The animations are boring and sloppy, shapes of the windows are weird, their alignments are all out of place compared what I was using before the upgrade. I tweaked the settings to make it look like before again but it just did not feel the same way beautiful again... The windows were all out of place and it got so bad that I had to change the Windows display style from Timeline to Coverflow.
The details page of the extension shows entirely different behaviour of what Coverflow is supposed to look like and yes indeed, it is way different from what it was supposed to be. It feels like it wasnt optimized or updated to match Ubuntu 24.04 version. I really wish to see this get fixed. It's going to be almost a year since the new upgrade for Ubuntu came out and it pains me to see such a beautiful, previously working extension behave like I described.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Get a Ubuntu 24.04 machine.
- Install the Coverflow Alt-Tab
- Set the view to Timeline or keep it Coverflow.
- Compare the behaviour. Noticably different and less performant.
Expected behavior It's hard to describe what I expected to see unless someone has a Ubuntu 22.04 machine.
Screenshots Unavailable because I cannot try the extension out again, unless I am in a VM, which I am not.
Logs No logs.
