Closed

System Information
Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. kernel 6.5.0-35
3400G

Blender Version
Broken: blender-4.2.0-beta+v42.6f724b83c663-linux.x86_64-release.tar.xz (and newer)
Worked: blender-4.2.0-beta+v42.965a13867111-linux.x86_64-release.tar.xz

Short description of error
Pausing after Viewport navigation results in no jittered shadows

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  1. Load the Jittered_shadow_issue.blend
  2. Using middle mouse button / navigation gizmo, rotate the view
  3. Keeping mouse button pressed / navigation gizmo activated, stop rotation and pause for a moment
  4. Releasing mouse button / navigation gizmo, results in no jittered shadows

Hi @Jeroen-Bakker,
Possibly caused by e1ee3ed7df commit?

Kind regards.

Thank you @Jeroen-Bakker for your rapid fix.

Feedback after testing...

Appears e1ee3ed7df functionality is now only operational if jittered shadows Viewport option is disabled?
With jittered shadows enabled, the Viewport bubbles (for want of a better term), like it previously did while navigating and pausing.

Is it possible to keep the aesthetically pleasing e1ee3ed7df style while navigating, and repaint the Viewport including jittered shadows, as the mouse button is released?

Thank you for your time, consideration, and amazing coding skills.

We rather keep the number of options limited otherwise the UI gets cluttered with options many users don't touch. Technically what you ask is possible, it is unclear if this is a good default for most cases.
Perhaps open a RCS to get user feedback or post on our feedback thread in devtalk

Ah! Didn't mean adding extra UI options, just how the implementation works behind the scenes.

Tried making some videos to help explain (for the videos, Viewport Pixel Size 2x for improved iGPU performance).

Current - without jittered shadows

Apologies @Jeroen-Bakker for extra comments (current 'Edit' comments limitation**),

Previous 'Proposed...' video didn't illustrate well how nice the Viewport appears with your patch, so created a new version...

Proposed - with jittered shadows
(basically, same as the 1st video (without jittered shadows), except, after navigation, as the mouse button is released, the Viewport is repainted adding the jittered shadows)

**Adding new files to a previous comment only provides a 'Remove file' option, without a 'Copy link' option.
