Bug Description

Also affecting docky, when clicking on any icon on plank, the resulting animation bounces twice - the first... Is fine, but the user would expect the second bounce to be reduced in height, but it is not. The second bounce is of the same height of the first and bounces unnervingly high.

Sounds reasonable to reduce the bounce hight over the animation length.

Rico this reminds me of something!

I remember a long time ago we had a discussion of making the bounce happen until the app was loaded. But there were not enough apps supporting a certain feature of Gtk.Application or something to make it realistic.

Is this still the case? If not, implementing that might have an effect here... Or it might not.

But as of now, I'm +1 to having the bounce decrease height. It makes sense :)
