Laggy Ubuntu App Drawer

HOST: Windows 10 64-bit, 8GM RAM, Intel Core i5-8250U

GUEST: Ubuntu 20.04LTS 64-bit

Current Settings:

Installed VMware tools for Linux

RAM:                          3GB

CPU cores:                3 cores out of 8

3D acceleration:        ON

Graphic memory:       1GB

I have had this issue where app drawer is lagy and animation breaks down when opening the app drawer. I have tried tweaking every setting and run it at all possible combinations, and it never improves. But, this problem is persistent in Full-Screen mode and does not appear in 'Windowed mode' even when window is maximized. There are no noticeable animation break down in anything else.

Full-Screen mode changes the display resolution to 1920x1080(16:9) which is not an option in Ubuntu without the VMware tools, while windowed mode keeps it in 1920x325 or 800x600(4:3).

Also, when window size is changed (still not in Full-Screen mode), first few app-drawer opening animation is not so smooth but after that it works fine.

Any help would be appreciated!
