Panorama stops moving if you disable screen animations

I've always disabled screen animations. Objectively, it slows down my navigation, and we all know the interface isn't optimized. So, why do I want the animations? So far, so good, until today's update, when I'm reporting this. I disagree with removing the panorama animation regardless of whether I have the "Screen Animations" option enabled or not. So I consider it a bug.

I've seen this change in the Preview for several versions and considered it a bug. Until now, they brought that "feature" (?) to the stable version.

I know many people use the interface without animations and still enjoy the moving panorama, so why force us to enable it?
