I didn't understand the first part (maybe record a video?), but the second part about slow animation, I notice it too that should be faster

HotCakeX If you go into the ... menu you can move your mouse down and quickly get a submenu for History (shown below) or Apps.
With the new Favorites system that menu is gone, requiring the panel to appear separately

Oh okay I think i got it, so you think it's quick because you have to click on folders inside favorites list to open them (see their contents), whereas before you could just hover over them and see their contents.
I prefer this new method. don't see this as a problem to begin with. I see it as an improvement because it's more stable than before. I can hover my mouse cursor over favorites folder and pass by them with out worrying that I might accidentally open them. if i accidentally open them (like in previous implementation) i have to go all the way back and move my mouse in certain way to close it.
also this new method takes less space which is another improvement i love. everything opens in the same specified column, it's clean and neat, no more messy.
