SUMMARY

So currently, when you open the overview, and then select  a workspace in the top bar, only the focused monitor seems to be getting the animation. The other monitor (maybe monitors, only have 2), just sort of appears. And it looks pretty jarring. Compare this to Desktop-Grid, Present Windows and shortcut workspace switching, and the difference is clear that this is a visual inconsistency. The slower the animation speed the more awkward it looks.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Trigger the overview effect
2. In the top bar pick a different workspace from the current one
3. Look at the other monitors during this switching animation

OBSERVED RESULT

Animation is performed only on the monitor where the click was performed.

EXPECTED RESULT

The same animation is performed on both, like in other effects.
