Bug or Intention - fixed CSS gradient is cropped to 50% - css

When setting a background gradient to background-attachment: fixed it is suddenly cropped to 50% of the page width. It seems related to the position left: 50%. I wonder if this is a bug or if I'm using the CSS wrong here:
.container {
position: relative;
height: 80px;
margin: 10px 0
}
.container:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100vw;
background: #f0f0f0;
background-image: repeating-linear-gradient(315deg,rgba(0,0,0,.03),rgba(0,0,0,.03) 10px,rgba(0,0,0,.06) 0,rgba(0,0,0,.06) 20px);
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%);
}
.container.fixed-bg:before {
background-attachment: fixed; /* <-- This line causes the problem. Why? */
}
<div class="container">...</div>
<div class="container fixed-bg">...</div>
I know that I can bypass the issue by removing the styles left: 50%; and transform: ... but that's not a practical solution in my case. The container has an unknown left margin and the pattern needs to reach from edge to edge.
Does that mean my CSS is wrong? What CSS would display the fixed background pattern in full width?
Update
I notice that there is a different behavior across browsers:

The bug seems to be related to transform. Use margin instead
.container {
position: relative;
height: 80px;
margin: 10px 0
}
.container:before{
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100vw;
background: #f0f0f0;
background-image: repeating-linear-gradient(315deg,rgba(0,0,0,.03),rgba(0,0,0,.03) 10px,rgba(0,0,0,.06) 0,rgba(0,0,0,.06) 20px);
left: 50%;
margin-left:-50vw;
}
.container.fixed-bg:before{
background-attachment: fixed;
}
<div class="container">...</div>
<div class="container fixed-bg">...</div>

My ::after Background image has a 1px top line, on some screens

On some devices screens (laptop), I noticed on Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers, there is line above my backgroungd svg image, on my top menu.
It looks fine if i resize the window, for example it looks good on mobile size screen. If i change the backround height seems to be solved but it will occur on other screen sizes.

I add a printscreen of the error here
On firefox, it seems to be fine.
I wonder if the top line is not a part of the svg image. Unfortunatelly I am not a svg expert.
Thank you for help.
Try removing background-position-y from your css. So that the new CSS looks like this.

I am really stuck with this one. I'm designing a parallax effect where I shift the background-position property of a fixed background using jQuery. The jQuery isn't at fault here, so I won't include it here to reduce the complexity of the question.
In Chrome, I get the desired effect. In Firefox or Edge, it's a nightmare. I have not tested it on Opera as of yet. When removing the background-attachment: fixed from the class .skewhero-image in those browsers, I notice there's no difference whatsoever. The property doesn't do anything, because when I remove the same property in Chrome, I get the same undesirable result as in the other browsers.
How can I change my code as to achieve the exact same effect as I have now in Chrome, but in all other desktop browsers as well? Mobile browsers excluded.
Basically, the image of the cat must not move, only the container surrounding it. In Chrome, this works as intended. In Firefox or Edge, the cat moves with the container, it isn't fixed to the viewport.
Edit: I have found out that leaving out all transform properties, from itself and all parents, fixes the image to the viewport. Anything to remedy this?
I am not sure what version of Firefox you are using but I just created codepen and it is working fine

If you are still have problem, please describe in details
$(function() {
"use strict";
var $skp = $('.skewhero-parallax');
var $skm = $('.skewhero-mask');
var $hi = $('.hero-image');
function calcParallax() {
var $scroll = $(document).scrollTop();
$skm.css({'transform':'skew(24deg) translateX(-' + (0.445 * $scroll) + 'px)'});
$skp.css({'transform':'translateY(' + $scroll + 'px)'});
$hi.css({'transform':'translateY(' + $scroll + 'px)'});
}
$(window).on('scroll', function () {
calcParallax();
});
$(window).resize(function() {
calcParallax();
});
});

I have found an alternative solution to fix my problem. Also, it seems browsers are able to deal with this solution a lot better. background-attachment:fixed is causing serious performance issues. This is because the browsers have to repaint the entire image when scrolled. Source #1 and Source #2. I have tested this myself and can confirm there's heavy lag when scrolling. I have started using the transform: translate() property, which is a lot more optimized for this as browsers don't have to repaint the entire image.
As I want to animate my parallax effect with jQuery, I've mimicked the fixed background effect in my code. I have added a code snippet of the desired effect, which works in Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

How to overlay two images of the same width but different heights, with one fixed and the other scrolling?

I am trying to build a page that will display a .png image of a computer (with a transparent screen), which I can then layer a website screenshot behind and scroll through, to give the effect of scrolling a real website.
For example, this page, but it can be with a scrollbar instead of automatic scrolling: http://preview.themeforest.net/item/fwrd-music-band-musician-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/12087239
I've actually managed to achieve the required, but I can only scroll the long website image (#instagram) when I 'inspect' the page. I assume the #laptop image is blocking the #instagram image somehow?
#container {
position: relative;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
#instagram {
z-index: 1;
width: auto;
height: 400px;
border-radius: 5px;
overflow: scroll;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
#laptop {
z-index: 2;
width: auto;
height: auto;
position: relative;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
You could use a pseudo element with pointer events none for your laptop and then just position your scrollable background where the screen is:
.laptop {
position: relative;
/* width and height of laptop image */
width: 584px;
height: 360px;
}
.laptop:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background:url(https://pngimg.com/uploads/laptop/laptop_PNG5938.png) left top no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
z-index:2;
pointer-events:none;
}
.background {
/* width and height of screen */
width:414px;
height:229px;
overflow:auto;
position:absolute;
/*POsition of screen in image */
top: 28px;
left:82px;
}
<div class="laptop">
<div class="background">
<img src="https://www.fillmurray.com/412/600">
</div>

CSS fullscreen blur using GPU

I have exactly the problem from this question but I can't comment (as I have less than 50rep).
It has to do with getting a better performance out of blurring a full screen image through GPU acceleration but not having the sides "leaking".
If you don't mind adding an additional div, you can add a wrapper and apply the transformation to it.
I checked in Chrome Dev Tools and indeed Chrome rendered the wrapper #bg into a separate layer, although this kind of optimizations are very browser specific.
I would recommend reading https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/12/gpu-animation-doing-it-right/
I would give you another suggestion however, instead using a big image and blur it, you can use the same image at a very low resolution (say 10x10 px) and make it full-screen. Almost the same result, but with far lesser bytes to load.
html {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: red;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
#bg {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
overflow: hidden;
transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}
#bg > div {
background-image:url('http://lorempixel.com/1920/1920/');
background-size: cover;
position: absolute;
left: -60px;
top: -60px;
right: -60px;
bottom: -60px;
filter: blur(60px);
}
<div id="bg">
<div></div>

Elements rotated on the Y-axis bisect fixed containers

This appears to effect only Safari browsers, but all versions I have tested on.
For some reason when rotating an element on the Y-axis, when it is positioned on top of a fixed container, the element cuts through it. Like this;
.fixed-container {
position: fixed;
z-index: 0;
background: skyblue;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
height: 400px;
}
.transformed-element {
z-index: 2;
position: absolute;
background-size: contain;
-webkit-transform: perspective(600px) rotateZ(-64deg) rotateX(10deg) rotateY(50deg);
transform: perspective(600px) rotateZ(-64deg) rotateX(17deg) rotateY(50deg);
height: 400px;
width: 600px;
background: url(http://scalabilitysolved.com/content/images/2014/May/stackoverflow.png) no-repeat center center;
}
Here is the jsfiddle of the above code.
Is this intended behaviour or a browser bug? How can I achieve what I want on top a fixed container?
