I am experiencing something like a 1-3 second lag only when side-swiping with 3 fingers between apps/desktops.

However, if I first swipe up with 3 fingers to enable mission control, then everything is fine and I can swipe between desktops seamlessly.

I've noticed that if I run 3 fingers across the trackpad, then I'll eventually be able to switch between desktops. At that point, if I keep the motion going I can switch between multiple desktops.

Any suggestions welcome - I've changed my display color profile and reset my nvram as other mojave threads have suggested.

EDIT: Changing my energy saving preferences to only use the dedicated graphics card doesn't show any differences. Using Mojave in light mode instead of Dark mode doesn't change anything either.

EDIT2: I've discovered that switching user accounts completely resolves the issue.

  • Do you have many applications open that take up a lot of CPU power? Sometimes the lag is caused by many apps open at the same time.

  • No, the lag exists regardless of how many processes I have open. To add on - I've changed my graphics settings to NOT automatically switch between the integrated and dedicated and that hasn't changed anything.

Posting this as an answer so that it's more visible.

I'm going to detail exactly what I did even if the steps seems unnecessary.

I switched between the two accounts a couple of times, noticing that the 3 finger side swipe between spaces wasn't working on my normal account but was working on my test account. I decided to duplicate my normal account and was reading about how to do this on my test account. I started up the migration tool and went through a couple of steps before running into an error. At this point I switched back to my normal account and the swipe was working again.
