Short-lived programs cause the dock to bounce #2193

Every time Neovim interacts with the clipboard, the dock is animated for a brief moment as it responds to wl-copy/wl-paste being launched and closed.

It is agonizingly distracting to have those movements happen all the time while editing files, and I can't use Dash-to-Dock as it is currently together with Neovim or other programs that similarly run short-lived programs like that.

I would imagine this bug could be fixed by implementing #988 or #2064, or by having a small delay between program launch and the program appearing in the dock.

I notice that this jiggle in the dock coincides with a jiggle in the Activities window (when I have at least 3 open windows). So this may or may not be a fault in Dash-to-Dock.

I am running Fedora 40 on AMD CPU/GPU.
