Sorry, not at that computer at the moment. But it shows the correct values. 
Both values are cut in half which (as I suspect the intention) should result 
in the same movement speed. Not sure _why_ that is done but well. I can send 
the patch at the week end.

At around second 52 it happens. The ball movement is not that clunky as seen 
in the video but I think it's well visible. I did the video with the released 
version 1.2.0 in KF 5.18.0 in Kubuntu 16.04.

BTW. One in ten starts of the application crashed here at least with the 
window maximised. I saw the same on the other computer in the git master 
version. Can you please check that as well on your box?

I am starting to see ghosts. :D
