Yeah I agree it's less than ideal since it doesn't fix the root cause but it makes this specific animation a lot smoother so thanks :) |

Idk if this is a good and/or common way to do this but it should work 🤷
The reasoning here is that during the workspace switch animation the actor width and/or height often changes by one pixel back and forth. This would cause the shadow to be dropped and created again multiple times during a switch. By keeping them in the cache for 5 seconds before dropping them we can avoid this. While a second or so would be enough for a single switch the whole feel is a lot smoother when trying to switch over multiple workspaces in one go.
