Slight animation delay

[nvllz]

Describe the bug
The category/task edit opening animations feel a little bit delayed. Like I feel it more than you can see on the recording; if you'll try to reproduce it, go back and forth few times, you'll notice a slight delay between your tap and category or task edit dialog opening, compared any other navigation inside the app. I marked it as a bug, because idk if it's intended. Seems more like a limitation of flutter until app loads data from the db, but no idea really.

Btw. you can notice two more bugs here:

• one I already submitted – the task14's description multiline bug,
• the "Complete"/"Remainin(g)" labels being cut and misaligned

Expected behavior
It's expected to present with the views instantly. I noticed this to occur only in these two cases.

I'll see what I can do.

Have you noticed any difference? Because it's the same for me. You have to try it yourself to get my point, but maybe it responds instantly for you and it may be something on my side.

Please try this: Compare opening the todo edit dialog/entering a category experience to switching between Categories and Settings screens. Like enter a category on the list, go back, enter again a few more times, then go between Categories and Settings a few times. The latter sequence feels like it responds instantly, but these two I recorded above are marginally delayed. At least it feels so for me xd

Not a big deal if you don't feel it, may be the matter of the app taking this fraction of a second to load data and I'm just hypersensitive.

@Leonavichus I figured out it's not the animation here, but more of the app just waiting for the data to process (db read/write bottleneck). It's my guess and after asking chatgpt it fed me with possible fixes such as async db calls and other shit. Wouldn't care much, but I noticed a difference between small and a packed database with the latter resulting in more noticeable pause. This delay feels the same when marking tasks as done/undone, like the app waited for db to process it before UI reacting.

Funnily enough I posted a screen record of the area with little to no bottleneck, sorry xd

I made the interaction with the database async.

Sorry, bro, but I don't see much difference. There must be some flutter limitation or some other shit, I initially thought it was a trivial thing.

Thanks for trying, though! It's still a big advancement.

@Leonavichus I just found a way to avoid this delay, here's a comparison between using a single-tap vs a long-tap when opening the subtasks view. Still don't know what's the problem here, but I couldn't resist.. sorry. This feels a bit odd, try it yourself.

Single-tapping (slightly delayed):

Long-pressing (instant):

It feels like it's something delaying start of the animation – when the view isn't completely gone, it's rolling back immediately on tap:

As I said above, it's like that when loading: category, task edit, subtask view (like on the vids – opening subtasks with a button from task add/edit dialog loads smoothly).

Just in case it's something easy and you're not tired, there's also an animation delay of drawing a frame around selected tasks. Cheers.
