Backstage Opening Animation

[changbowen]

Not a big issue. But if it is an easy fix...
The opening animation of the backstage has always been like this. Looks like the "left" part of the animation is missing. When opening, it starts from 50% and play to the end. When closing, it plays to 50% and skips to the end.
Don't know if I made myself clear...

Can't reproduce this on my machine.

reproducible with the latest showcase

What do you mean by that? Which showcase version? Compiled from source? Downloaded from appveyor?

Some visual aids :)
This is the backstage in Word 2016 opening:

And this is the backstage opening in a Fluent window:

Dont know if this is by design, but it feels that the animation "starts from 50%"...
If you compare the above two gifs, in the Office animation the blue panel movement starts from the left edge. While in the 2nd gif, the red panel movement starts from a few miles east of the edge.
Same for the closing animation.

Ok, in slow motion it's visible.
Will have a look.

@changbowen Close enough?

This looks great! 👍

one thought though, i see the margin animation value is hard coded. if the backstage gets wide, i think the animation will still look like the second gif.

I know. Binding these values would be better. Got it on my list.
But the problem should only occur is the left panel in the backstage gets wider.
