I noticed this issue upstream in Gnome 3.30 and 3.32 too. But I assumed it was a *feature* and not a bug -- maybe an attempt by the developers to make opening the app drawer faster before the fix for bug 1750197 existed.
I didn't realize this was a regression compared to the original Gnome 3.28 behaviour. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- 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/1827284 Title: No animation when GNOME Activities overview is opened Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-shell source package in Bionic: New Status in gnome-shell source package in Eoan: Confirmed Bug description: On Ubuntu 18.04.2, Xorg, Gnome version 3.28.3+git20190124-0ubuntu18.04.1, there's no animation anymore when you open the activities panel. When you close it, the animation shows up normally. The animation used to work, but it stopped by the end of April 2019. It doesn't seem to be a video driver issue, since it happens both when using Nvidia and Intel graphics. The issue persists after disabling all Gnome extensions. It's worth mentioning that the animation shows up if you access activities through the top right hot corner, but it doesn't if you press the button or the Windows key.
