XDM not able to draw interface after reopening when this extension is enabled

[HritwikSinghal]

Describe the bug

On Manjaro Wayland 20.2, also happened on ubuntu 20.04 wayland. DID NOT TEST ON XORG

I install XDM, i open XDM, i close it by clicking the 'X' on top menu bar. I again open XDM and it does not open. It shows that one window is open in dash and overview but that window has no interface. see the screenshots

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install XDM . open xdm (from all apps). It opens fine. I close it by clicking on "X" on top bar.
2. I again open it from 'all apps' or 'dash' but this time this bug happens.

Expected behavior XDM should open normally.

Additional Info

• This does not happen when i disable "Animation Tweaks" Gnome Shell Extension.

• Adding XDM to Application Profiles and disabling all effects for it Does not work.

• This issue disappears if i disable closing effects for all "normal Windows". Like

• Here is issue on XDM GH page

[Selenium-H]

I tried xdm on arch, however the above issue appeared only once and was gone after closing xdm and rebooting. Could you please let me know the preferences under which it's happening? Also try disabling focusing and defocusing effects if that's enabled.

[HritwikSinghal]

Focus effects are disabled. But after restart did this issue occur for you? since if we kill the app by 'kill -9' command or by restarting the PC, the issue will disappear, but as soon as you open xdm and close it again, it will re-appear.

Sorry. I was logging to xorg previously . I was able to reproduce this issue on wayland. I'll update once a workaround is found.

[Selenium-H]

Please try adding xdm to profiles list. With dconf-Editor navigate to org/gnome/shell/extensions/animation-tweaks/. In key name-list replace Xtreme Download Manager with xdman-Main. Apply the changes. Open Animation Tweaks extension preferences and in Profiles tab select xdman-Main and turn off close status switch. Enable Application Profiles switch. Enable Closing Effects [ for windows ] switch from Actions tab.

This will prevent closing animation for xdm.

Thanks, this works! But isn't this just a temporary solution? i mean this bug should affect java applications if it affects xdm (xdm is java app).

Yes.

this bug should affect java applications if it affects xdm

I'm not sure if all java applications are affected. Some of the applications (even native ones) also have this type of issues while others work fine.

phpstorm with its own aur/phpststorm-jre isn't affected on Archlinux, Gnome 40.2, extension v14
