Huge lags in "spread to show desktop" on extended display
OS version: macOS 15.6.1
Steps to reproduce:
- Connect your Mac to an extended display (an iPad with sidecar is also fine)
- Change your desktop wallpaper to Ventura
- Leave only one window on desktop
- Slowly spread your fingers on trackpad to show desktop
Notes:
- You can also use sidecar on an iPad if you don't have an extra monitor
- Wallpaper matters. The one that is easiest to reproduce is the Ventura wallpaper.
- Make sure to spread your fingers on trackpad to show desktop, do not click desktop.
- Compare the animations of showing desktop with one and two windows open. Two windows is significantly smoother than one window.
- If you do not see lags, wait a few minutes after you change the wallpaper to Ventura.
