Safari and Touchpad specific issue causing animated element to get stuck - css

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.

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.

How to fix jumping / snapping CSS Hover effect in MS Edge

I'm experiencing a weird phenomenon using Microsoft Edge (40.15063.674.0) / Microsoft EdgeHTML (15.15063) with the code below. As expected, when you hover over the black box with any browser, it smoothly scales the box to 1.25x its size over 0.5 seconds. The problem happens when a mouse is moving too fast across the box in Edge. What happens is that instead of scaling smoothly, the box jumps/snaps to the desired transformation and then back again. Let’s say a user was moving their mouse fast from one side of the screen to the other and “cutting across the lawn” so to speak across the surface of the box.
In fact, if I move too fast in other browsers, the box doesn't attempt to scale at all. It just stays small unless the mouse movement actually ends up stopping in that area. Even in Internet Explorer this works just fine with as fast as I can move the mouse pointer across it, but only in Edge do I find this behavior. I have to go relatively slow to prevent that jitter-like snap. It doesn't matter what the effect is either. It could be a "scale", a "translateY", etc. If the mouse is moving too fast across the ":hover" it's not smooth in Edge. Is this a known issue? Is there anything I could do to prevent this from happening?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
.box {
background-color: #000;
cursor: pointer;
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
top: 200px;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
transition: transform 0.5s;
transition-delay: 0.1s; <=== Added this to stop it from jumping
}
.box:hover {
transform: scale(1.25);
}
</style>
<div class="box"></div>
I've even tried replicating the effect using jQuery's ".hover" function to add the CSS attributes when the mouse enters and then take them away when the mouse leaves but to no avail. It behaves exactly the same way. The hover effect jumps/snaps if the mouse is moving too fast in Edge.
This should be a comment, but sub-50 rep here.
You might want to try adding translateZ() or use scale3d() directly, to enable hardware acceleration, and using transition-delay to delay the transition altogether when hovering for less than 100ms.
.box:hover {
transform: scale3d(1.25, 1.25, 1.25);
transition-delay: 0.1s;
}
/* or */
.box:hover {
transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.25);
transition-delay: 0.1s;
}

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.

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%;
}

about CSS3 translate3d flicker ,checked lots answer,but seems unlucky

First of all,I am doing a html5 webapp on iOS, especially iPad.when touchmove,the div should move with my finger together,I used to change the left value to make this effect,but it seems not smooth enough ,so I used translate3d to do it,it seems great!
And then,I just found the strange flicker happend,there are white flicker or flash in there several time when finger move the div.by the way,after moved once,the flicker is dispear.
So,I check a lots of functions which include:
-webkit-perspective: 1000;
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0) rotate(0) scale(1);
But no one works except change the flicker color to grey=.=
So,this is my question.(iOS 5.01)
you should check the children, try giving them
transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
I had more strange issue when copies of input elements were displayed as artifacts all over the next content after scrolling down and up.
And couple lines of CSS saved the day (actually days of struggling :)
Make sure you use such CSS for your scrolling container and all children inside of it
.scrolling-container {
overflow: auto;
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;
}
.scrolling-container .child-element {
position: relative;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
}
