The issue exists already for many months, at least for me. I.e. was on already on older Windows builds. On the start / end of animation, the window is lagging, it becomes vertically a bit larger, than its normally. Happens with all apps. See attached video. Can you fix this bug? its very annoying. Windows 10 20H2, 19042.804.

nope, it doesnt. At any animation value the lag with window height is present.

If you do a Windows 10 clean boot:

And then start the WindowFX service with this batch file:

Does it still happen?

We have resolved this for the 6.12 update.

Your issue only happens with the much older animations which are the ones at the bottom of the list without the preview buttons when selected.  Anything from Basic fade down.
