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
- Turn on animations for the said applets (if they are disabled).
- Try clicking them to show/hide them and play their animations.
Expected behavior
Animations shouldn't be laggy.

Research direction
Reproduce the lag with menu@cinnamon.org and calendar@cinnamon.org on Cinnamon 6.4.0, with applet animations enabled, and compare the behavior with 6.2.9. Check whether notifications@cinnamon.org shows the same issue. Done means the affected applet animations are smooth after the regression is addressed.
