Animate scrim as soon as sheet is dismissed

[Radiokot]

When opening a bottom sheet, the scrim is animated in parallel with the sheet – the background fades while the sheet slides;

However, when closing the sheet, the scrim is animated only after full closure – the background stays faded while the sheet slides, and only after it went away the fade out animation is started.

I think this is a bug, as it looks out of pace and also makes the closure longer, which is annoying from the user perspective.

Here is the video showing a sheet opening and closing in a loop. You can see enter animations are parallel, while exit ones are sequential:

Thanks.

What would you like the actual behavior to be like?

[Radiokot]

To me, it seems reasonable to have scrim and sheet exit animations running in parallel, just like when opening a sheet.

Let me see what I can do. It is indeed annoying having to wait for the scrim animation to end.

Done. This will be available in the next release.

Much better!
