Bug Description

Minimize-restore animations are slower (miss frames) when DING is loaded. Nautilus 42 windows especially.

I only noticed this when I switched to an Nvidia GTX 1650 card (Wayland session, 510.54 driver).

Disabling DING seems to fix the issue convincingly.

On Xorg, enabling or disabling DiNG does not « fix » the flickering animation.
But.
On Wayland, enabling DiNG has another side-effect :

it triggers the full opacity of Dash-to-Dock, if dynamic transparency enabled in D-t-D.

So maybe something related to DiNG while on Wayland particularly ?
