Public bug reported:
Upon first logging in, bringing up the dash is very fast and I get a
fluid animation both when opening and closing it. Typing in the search
box is also very responsive.
However, as time goes on, I'll suddenly notice that it is no longer
behaving well. When opening it or closing it, I'll only see 2 or 3
frames of a choppy animation. Typing in the search box can have as much
as a 1-2 second delay and is rather awkward to work with.
Opening CCSM and toggling the Unity plugin solves the problem. As such,
I've no reason to believe that anything else is to blame. I've installed
no extensions and have only used CCSM to change a few keymappings (e.g.
I've not played with any effects such as the dash blur). I've
experienced this problem across multiple stock installs so I can only
imagine others are affected as well.
I'm using the open source ATI drivers for my ATI 6850; I've not
installed the driver recommended in "Additional Drivers" as it actually
reduces performance in Unity (although it's much better if I use Unity
2D).
I tried to match this up with an existing bug but nothing seemed to fit
particularly well. Hopefully I'm not alone in experiencing this; it
really makes things feel unfinished and clumsy unfortunately.
