This hack was added in the past to prevent the combobox from being
pushed out of view when the label next to it was very long, as it can be
in certain languages. However it had the effect of making the label get
elided in *all* languages, and also the issue it was working around is
no longer present; even with very long text, the combobox no longer gets
pushed out of view, and instead the formlayout first switches to mobile
view and then elides the Label, exactly as intended. So we can safely
remove the hack.

If a redirected animation reaches the end, the timeline value will be 0,
i.e. the interpolated() function has to return the from value, not `to`.
BUG: 438368
When the aboutToDestroy signal is emitted, the compositor object is
already partially destroyed. This contradicts to the name of the signal.
In addition to that, it will be better to call the stop method in the
destructors of X11Compositor and WaylandClient as it allows them to add
custom cleanup code when compositing is turned off.
If a window is animated using DeformEffect, allocate an offscreen
texture with the scale factor of the screen where the window is
considered to be on.
Also, resize the offscreen texture on demand in order to make resource
handling more efficient.
At the moment, we handle window quads inefficiently. Window quads from
all items are merged into a single list just to be broken up again.
This change removes window quads from libkwineffects. This allows us to
handle window quads efficiently. Furthermore, we could optimize methods
such as WindowVertex::left() and so on. KWin spends reasonable amount
of time in those methods when many windows have to be composited.
It's a necessary prerequisite for making wl_surface painting code role
agnostic.
Window quads need to be in some coordinate space. Since we want items to
be used not only for rendering windows, window-local coordinates do not
suffice.
This change makes scene items generate quads in the item-local coordinate
space.
The model matrix is used to map the quads to the global screen coordinate
system from the item coordinate space.
Since the quads are in the item local coordinate space, the mvp matrix
needs to be updated on every draw call. Given the render data, tracking
the last mvp matrix won't result in less glUniform calls. If this indeed
becomes a serious performance bottleneck, we can explore the possibility
of dumping mvp matrices in a UBO, which have been introduced in OpenGL
3.1.
The scene items depend on the scene windows for caching window quads.
The goal of this change is to move window quads management to item.
Merging window quads in one list and then splitting them is inefficient,
it will be highly desirable if window quads are removed from the public
api so we can optimize window quad management.
With this change, the window quad type becomes irrelevant to render
backends for the most part. Note that the Xrender backend is a bit
nitpicky about window quads, so the shadow item doesn't create generic
"WindowQuadShadow" quads anymore.
Drop-shadows with the software render backend impact performance quite
significantly. It also makes it easier to prepare render backends for the
item based design.
Use FontMetrics to calculate the expected max text width so it
doesn't overflow with wider fonts, specially in some languages
like pt_BR

Offers shoul be set on a source before data_device.set_selection. Doing
so afterwards appears to be against the spec and as such we may not pass
the update to wayland clients / klipper.
So far, we were creating a model view with the complete scene rendered
(even if we didn't render the windows themselves). This required us to
have a big glPerspective spanning the entire scene and we were just
cropping it as we rendered it into a smaller texture.
This changes our scenes so we have the correct matrix set up at all
times.
Specifically in the case of the Pinephone, this solves the following
issue where we were unable to connect external displays because it
exceeded GL_MAX_VIEWPORT_DIMS:

When the panel disappears, just reconsider the panel's state but don't
just stop sending updates to the input method.
Some input methods are just helpers that show and hide as necessary.
The Xrender backend was added at the time when OpenGL drivers were not
particularly stable. Nowadays though, it's a totally different situation.
The OpenGL render backend has been the default one for many years. It's
quite stable, and it allows implementing many advanced features that
other render backends don't.
Many features are not tested with it during the development cycle; the
only time when it is noticed is when changes in other parts of kwin break
the build in the xrender backend. Effectively, the xrender backend is
unmaintained nowadays.
Given that the xrender backend is effectively unmaintained and our focus
being shifted towards wayland, this change drops the xrender backend in
favor of the opengl backend.
Besides being de-facto unmaintained, another issue is that QtQuick does
not support and most likely will never support the Xrender API. This
poses a problem as we want thumbnail items to be natively integrated in
the qtquick scene graph.
With the ongoing scene redesign, it needs to be rewritten. However,
given that it is not used widely based on support information from
various bug reports and our available man power is sparse, the most
reasonable thing is to drop the effect, unfortunately.
