Update Mar 4: Reported it here.

There is this bug with the Nextcloud menu bar that, when you collapse it, there is a moment of jank where everything is overlapped, and the corner is sharp and looks bad.

At first, I thought I'd report it in the nextcloud/tasks app where I saw it but then I noticed (as you can see in this video) that it also happens in contacts and files.

Nextcloud has plenty of problems but I use it regularly and want to do my part to improve the polish. It shouldn't be terribly hard to update the css transitions to make a less jank experience for tons of people. I reported a similar tiny janky CSS issue in tasks here today (yay).

This comes after seeing some posts (which I can't find now) about software quality that inspired me to try to improve a few things that have bothered me. Yay FOSS :)

At first, I thought nextcloud/server might be the place to report it, but that is a super busy repo. I tried digging through the related issues but don't see anything that jumps out at me as the problem. If I open a low-priority issue like this there, it probably won't get looked at. At the same time, if I spend time digging in and finding a fix without discussion, there is a decent chance it'll either be already fixed or considered not important enough to review among the 100s of open PRs.

Anywhoo, this turned out more of me writing this all just to realize I should probably give them the benefit of the doubt and open an issue even if I'm not totally sure it's the right place but I'll still post the question here: How would you go about finding the right place to report this and maybe even get a fix in? Or maybe have some related stories to share?

if there was a lean and stable app for files, calendar, contacts and tasks

There is, but it isn't a single app, it's a collection of different services. Maybe it should always be like that.

Also, it looks like roundcube is now part of nextcloud 🤷

Yes, my question on that is: what should we expect now? To have RC as NextCloud's default e-mail interface OR to get RC filled with mindless bugs and crappy features/decisions?

Also, what about Kolab https://kolab.org / https://kolabnow.com? Besides providing e-mail hosting they seem to be the ones pushing the development of RC and essential plugins that are somehow competition for NextCloud.
