Sorry for the delay. I disabled all extensions but ubuntu-dock (I need to be able to click on the grid apps icon to trigger the bug). The delay it still there. Also, it seems to happen under X11 and under Wayland.
Just to be clear: the multi-second delay happens very few times, and may be related to another process eating CPU time and/or I/O. But there is almost always a perceptible delay between pressing the icon and the spring animation, specially if the animation hasn't been triggered for a while. May be around half a second or so. It is not a big deal, but it doesn't feel as smooth as it should be, hence the bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878490 Title: Big delay between pressing the applications grid icon in dock and the start of the spring animation Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am sorry if this is already reported elsewhere, I couldn't find it. Sometimes there is a big delay between clicking in the applications grid icon and the start of the spring animation. In the worst cases, this delay can be close to 2 seconds. Usually, after this first delay, subsequent clicks on the grid icon show little to no delay. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 with default extensions on a Dell XPS 13 9360.
