Yes, this has existed since very long, i.e. since the measure quests were first created. I think the same happens for the opening hours quest, no? It's definitely because of the form, not of MapLibre. I'll have a short look at this...

No, for this quest, the zooming is smooth. The road surface quest also has a similar lag, but there it can be explained by a more complex geometry that needs to be displayed. Perhaps this is also due to the more complex form of the response with pictures, I don't know :/

By the way, any quest form cannot appear (and must wait on the UI thread) until the features dictionary is loaded. The loading is done in the background on each start, so if you immediately open a quest after start, it will be jittery (because the features dictionary must first finish loading).

But I can confirm that this form also jitters after it has been loaded. After some tests, I have been unable to find where this is coming from, however.

Interesting, I didn't know there was supposed to be an animation at all. Perhaps I enabled some OS setting to reduce animations since they're usually just artificial delays in workflows as well as battery-eating compared to just rendering the intended view once.

Come to think of it, why does it zoom? I got so used to it that I forgot it bothered me. Can we disable it altogether? If I wanted to have a different zoom level, I'd use this little feature of streetcomplete's called zooming :p

Maybe we could do a quick show of 👍/👎 on this comment to indicate whether the zoom also bothers you? So that 👍 is in favor of keeping the user's chosen zoom level. An 👀 could be used for "I've seen the poll but don't care whether it zooms or not". Of course, anything other than an overwhelming majority would mean it a setting is something to consider; this is just about what you would set that setting to if it existed.

@lgommans Note however that StreetComplete is very reluctant to adding new user preferences. (if there is enough interest to add such option, it might perhaps be an option for SCEE, though)

It's not really a jitter in the animation but rather the whole app seems to freeze for a short while while the quest form is being initialized. For users that have animation on, this happens while zooming in to the quest. The zooming is done mostly for two reasons: 1. It is important to show the extents of the element for which this quest is about. Sometimes the view thus has to be zoomed in for that, sometimes it must be zoomed out and sometimes this is not necessary as the zoom is near enough to the zoom necessary to enclose the highlighted element 2. It is important for some quests to show the immediate surrounding, some elements are highlighted. If you are zoomed too far out, you'll not see it Tldr: i will not remove the zooming
