Describe the bug
Window animation will repeat (or more accurately stop and then resume from the position it was stopped but starting from the beginning of the animation curve) when window focus is changed. Either by moving the cursor out and into an animating window, or by letting an animating window passing through the cursor.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Trigger a window animation by opening, closing, or dragging an app window.
Move cursor away from the window it was from.
Move cursor back to the window it was from.
See repeated animation.

Expected behavior
Changing mouse focus should not repeat window animation.

I ran it but unfortunately the bug I reported still occurs.

Commenting this line fixed the issue but I don't know if it would introduce another issue.

WindowManagerEvent::FocusChange(_, window) => {
                // self.update_focused_workspace(self.mouse_follows_focus, false)?;

                let workspace = self.focused_workspace_mut()?;
