Description chniucg 2026-02-13 16:40:32 UTC 
SUMMARY
When switching the virtual display, there is some kind of delay in which I am not able to open the overview, even though the animation is over. This delay is around 1 - 2 seconds. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch the virtual desktop (I do it with shortcuts)
2. Try to open den overview effect immediately 

OBSERVED RESULT
It does not open, only when being activated after the delay

EXPECTED RESULT
It should instantly open
