Animation of opacity causes blurry text on other divs - css

In chrome my text appears blurry, I've tracked the issue down to my animation in my css file but I have no idea why it is causing this.
(make sure you open the image otherwise you don't see a lot of difference)
Enabled animation (blurry)
Disabling the animation (crisp)
I have tried a lot of options that I found on stack overflow but none solve my issue...
Chrome Font appears Blurry
CSS transition effect makes image blurry / moves image 1px, in Chrome?
WebKit: Blurry text with css scale + translate3d
Blurry text on Chrome when using CSS -webkit-transform
Chrome animation makes text blurry
Animation itself
#keyframes blink {
0% {
opacity: 0.2;
}
50% {
opacity: 1;
}
100% {
opacity: 0.2;
}
}
animation: blink 2s infinite;
Example of animation

i've solved the issue and it was because my wrapper component had position: relative; which somehow caused the rest to be blurry when the transform was applied.
Look for a parent that has the position:relative;

TranslateX breaks sticky navbar

So i made a sticky navbar to stick on top of a page, on the page i have paragraps and elements that i give css like
.from-left{
transform: translateX(-80%); } .from-right{
transform: translateX(80%); } .from-left,.from-right{
transition: opacity 500ms ease-in, transform 1000ms ease-in;
opacity: 0; } .from-left.appear,.from-right.appear{
transform: translateX(0);
opacity: 1; }
I then use intersection observer to give them appear class so that they slide in. Works fine if firefox, chrome however makes my navbar not stick to the top until all the elements slide in into their place, once they slide in navbar sticks to the top and works. I got no clue why this works in firefox and not in chrome and how to fix it, guess i could make elements positions absolute and rewrite stuff but i would like to avoid that.

style calculation for gpu accelerated animation in chrome

This is a chrome only question. I'm using chrome 56 on OSX, but I also tested this on Windows 8 using chrome 57.
I have an animation that is gpu accelerated, using will-change: transform and a keyframe animation using transform: translateY(...) to move an element around the screen.
.block {
height: 20vh;
width: 20vh;
background-color: black;
animation: move 5s linear infinite;
will-change: transform;
}
#keyframes move {
0% { transform: translateY(0%); }
50% { transform: translateY(400%); }
100% { transform: translateY(0%); }
}
Example on codepen: http://codepen.io/nicokoenig/full/PmYaOZ/
The animation itself is handled on the chromes compositor thread and is therefor not affected if the main thread is blocked.
When I record a timeline, I still see that there is a style calculation for each frame.
Why does chrome need to recalculate styles, even if the animation is handled on the compositor thread?
UPDATE
I reviewed my code and added three types of animations.
the first animtion is using a fixed viewport unit (vh) to translate the box.
the second animation is using a fixed pixel value to translate the box.
the third animation is using a percentage value to translate the box.
I also added button to block the main thread - if I hit the button:
the first and second animation will still move around the screen, the third one freezes.
I think that is the answer - an animatoin using translate with percentage values needs to recalculate styles during the whole animation.
The behavior is a known chrome bug.

Safari transform animation not responding to dynamic width

Having issues making this behave properly on Safari (works fine on Chrome and Firefox): https://jsfiddle.net/my794fyx/4/
In the fiddle, the redbox should move from left to right with a shifting pivot-point. The red box is moved by animating the left property. The pivot-point is shifted by animating translateX().
The importance of having a shifted pivot point comes to play when hovering over the black box: the width of the redbox grows. The direction the red box grows in is determined by the pivot-point -- when the redbox is on the left, it should grow to the right, and when it's on the right, it should grow to the left. This can be seen working properly on Chrome and Firefox.
On Safari, when you hover over the black box and the red box grows in width, it doesn't seem to be taken into account by transform: translateX(-100%). When hovered, the red box exceeds the black box.
Looking for some work-arounds to the browser issue or alternative implementations to the problem.
You might want to try using the -webkit- prefix on the transform and the #keyframes so:
#-webkit-keyframes {
0% {
left: 0%;
-webkit-transform: translateX(0%);
transform: translateX(0%);
}
100% {
left: 100%;
-webkit-transform: translateX(-100%);
transform: translateX(-100%);
}
}
But just remember that the original must be kept as well! And that you have to add -webkit- prefixes to that for safety, in case one does not support #keyframes without the prefix but not the transform, though it's more likely the other way around, as the above code has.

Safari and Touchpad specific issue causing animated element to get stuck

I have a very odd problem that I only observe with Safari, on a touchpad.
When scrolling down, my navbar fades in / down via CSS transition. If I happen to scroll back up, thus removing the class responsible for the transition, the navbar gets stuck visually in the wrong place, only on safari. The CSS / styles say the correct values, and even the hover/click handlers are in the right place.
That is, In the image below, my mouse is hovering at the blank white area, while the navbar stuck below gets highlighted.
There are several odd things about this:
The element is the navbar via global styles, yet only happens on this particular page.
I can't seem to trigger the problem via scrolling with the mouse.
I can only trigger it via very subtle trackpad movements, or fast trackpad movements.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Relevant CSS
.is-sticky-slide-down {
#include experimental(animation, fadeInDown .3s ease-out 0s);
}
#-webkit-keyframes fadeInDown {
0% {
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-20px);
transform: translateY(-20px);
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
-webkit-transform: translateY(0);
transform: translateY(0);
}
}
The problem was due to enabling -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden on elements. Removing this "fix" for hover glitches (like twitching opacity fades) fixed the other glitches on Safari.
To be clear, the fix is to remove -webkit-backface-visibility from affected elements.

Pure CSS hover transition is jumpy (in Safari) when keeping image centered

Inspired by Design Shack, I wanted to have some linkable photos zoom in slightly when hovered over. However, I want the animations to be centered, so it's like we're zooming in slightly.
In order to keep the image centered, I fiddled with top, left, margin-top, and margin-left to make it work. I'm not even sure how it works :-) but it works...
...except that the animation is actually kind of choppy and jumpy, at least in Safari - worst of all in Safari on 10.9. (Firefox and Chrome do a better job though.)
Check out the example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/MnHVk/1/
The salient piece:
.card img:hover {
height:110%;
width:110%;
top:10%;
left:-10%;
margin-top:-10%;
margin-left:5%;
}
Compare the jumpy animation to the version that doesn't try to center, here:
http://jsfiddle.net/MnHVk/2/
Can anybody think of any other way to do this hover animation that won't result in such a jumpy effect? Perhaps there's some other technique for adjusting the positioning so that when the image is hovered over, it moves smoothly?
If you use transform, it should render thru the GPU, and I think, smoothly
.card img:hover {
-webkit-transform: scale(1.1);
-ms-transform: scale(1.1);
transform: scale(1.1);
-webkit-transform-origin:50% 50%;
-ms-transform-origin:50% 50%;
transform-origin:50% 50%;
}
