Bug Description
I have updated my Ubuntu VMware vm from 18.04 to 20.04 yesterday and everything is working fine, except the animation for the launcher, which is really choppy.
If I turn on Zoom in universal access and set it to 1, then the animation works flawlessly.
Here is a screen recording with no zoom vs 1x zoom (imgur link): https:/
I have not noticed any other issues with animations anywhere else, nor any issues playing video.
I have `Fractional Scaling` off.
If I select `Ubuntu On Wayland` when logging in, everything is working fine.
I did not have this issue on 18.04.
Output of lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display':
VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
Subsystem: VMware SVGA II Adapter
Kernel driver in use: vmwgfx
Kernel modules: vmwgfx
This is the configuration (imgur link) I have for this VM (it also has 1 gb of video memory, but even if I set it to 2gb the launcher animation is still choppy): https:/
Do you have any idea what might be causing this choppy animation only for the launcher?
Thank you!
