Steps to reproduce
- Make sure the “Reduce motion” accessibility feature is enabled（This feature can be turned off, but the problem will still occur. The video in the “Additional information” was recorded when the feature was enabled) on your macOS system (System Settings → Accessibility → display → Check “Reduce motion”).
- Open the Obsidian software.
- Open the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Frequently switch between the Obsidian software window and the Microsoft Edge browser window (for example, using the Command + Tab shortcut keys).
- Observe the animation effect when switching to the Obsidian software window.

Expected result

Actual result
When switching back to Obsidian, the window will experience a brief lag, feeling as if the animation effect is delayed before being displayed, and then it returns to normal.
