Bug Description

My config:

- HP 2560p laptop
- External Screen DELL (1920X1200 )

At home I'm using only External Screen ( Laptop screen disabled in Display manager) .

When i use minimzez dash . All is OK
When I want to have full screen DASH , effects (for exemple right clic animations) become very slow , fluid but slow .

What's expected: effects should keep the same speed.

Thanks for all your work!
