Bug description

Animations of showing and hiding applets on the panel are really laggy after updating to the latest Cinnamon. 6.2.9 didn't have this issue.

This includes:

• menu@cinnamon.org (animations are enabled in the settings)
• calendar@cinnamon.org
• notifications@cinnamon.org (maybe, but I think I saw that once, I'll try to check this later)

That's all I found for now. Other applets' animations are working fine. Rebooting or restarting Cinnamon didn't resolve this bug but reverting to the previous version did.

Steps to reproduce

1. Turn on animations for the said applets (if they are disabled).
2. Try clicking them to show/hide them and play their animations.

Expected behavior

Animations shouldn't be laggy.

Opened an issue here with the similar issue #12643
Did you experience this on a Mint-Y theme too?

Sorry, didn't think that "slow" animations meant "laggy" too. Yes, I am using default Mint-Y theme

I just think the applets are slow to load. Even if you disable the effects, the applets load slowly when compared to when you're on Mint-X or the cinnamon theme.

I have been thinking about opening the new BUG, but found this one.
I consider it is related to the topic (the symptoms are described there):

Yes, changed the theme from "Mint-Y" to "Cinnamon" and animations don't feel laggy/slow now

[vyalyh-oleg]

For me it stays laggy even on the "Cinnamon" theme, the same delays of reactions for mouse movement or key press.

Just a guess:
Couldn't the fix for this problem (#11760) be the cause of current one?

If you're talking about the fix I made, no. That fix hasn't been merged yet. The stuttering applet animations were happening both before and after I implemented that fix on my end.
