Dropdown/Tooltip animation is very jarring

[Achilles1515]

As a comment stated on one of your Reddit posts the dropdown & tooltip animated transform is jarring and sort of looks janky. I think it is bad UX that the content of the dropdown button/tooltip root element gets covered, for 0.1 seconds, by the element becoming visible. It creates this weird and unexpected flash, and it looks especially horrible for tooltips that don't project into the client viewport.

Taking off this transition makes it look so much better, in my opinion, and way easier on the eyes. It is an unneeded opinionated animation - if the user wants this, they should just add it themselves.

Thank you for raising a proper issue, I lose track on Reddit. Anyway, I will address this issue (along with other transition related ones) very soon. Though for this specific case, I am not sure if turning transitions off completely is a good idea.

I also find the dropdown effect somewhat aggressive, in fact it bothers me, maybe other devs have the same impression. In my opinion, the effect could be smoother without this shock.

@Achilles1515 @lucivaldo I agree, the same for tooltips. Frankly I would make transitions off by default and customizable with some classes.

@halfmoonui any update on this?
