Bug Description

Hi all,
Hi Daniel,

Sorry the desktop recording is not smooth but we can see here that the direction that take these two windows is not straight, there is a sudden bend.

Just my feeling maybe, but that's not "sleek".

Thanks for the bug report. Please try reattaching the video using a file name with English characters only, or else Launchpad can't provide a valid link to it. :(

Based on the description provided so far, I only have a rough idea of the issue you are describing. When multiple animations run at the same time the final destination for one of them might also be moving. So in this way a window may appear to take a curved path.

I think this is described in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3303 but confusingly that's marked as a duplicate of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2968
