AngularJS: ngAnimate randomly fails on IE10 - javascript

Using AngularJS 1.2.1 I have a page with 7 separate ngSwitchs and ngAnimates on them so they look like left-right sliders with each switch-on being one full row. The content slides in from right or left controlled by buttons. As I said, there are 7 of these sliding rows, all of which are inside one controller.
Everything works well in every browser I have tried but IE10. Here the animates work on random ngSwitches. Some animate, some just re-display as if there was no animation. Every refresh is different, sometimes none work, sometimes (though rarely) all do.
This seems like some sort of timing problem with each switch being filled in by separate REST get from the server. I have been unable to duplicate this in a Plunkr due to the service.get.
ngAnimate relies on changing the classes in the switch during the animations. Obviously I have the animations defined properly since they work fine everywhere else. Since ngAnimate changes the classes automatically during the animation I can't have messed that up.
Is this a known problem with ngAnimate? Is there a work-around?

As I added the version number I realized I should check for the latest and indeed this seems to be fixed in 1.2.13. If you try to animate too quickly after page load, it may not work but eventually the code catches up and all rows work correctly.

Unexplainable CSS Positioning Issue Somehow Related To Transitions

I know that this is not a 'good question' to poseā€”but I'm desperate by now and need to find some inspiration.
I have a questionnaire page/web-app that uses CSS transitions to slide to the next page of questions/options.
It is well-tested and the transitions in question aren't complex.
But the transition to one special page went out of control recently. And although I consider myself well versed in CSS and JavaScript I'm totally lost with this problem.
The construct in question works like this:
I have a 'window' that is positioned absolutely and has its overflow hidden.
Inside that is a page container positioned relative to no left or top values or transforms given.
The pages inside this container are positioned absolutely according to their status classes positioned on the left: 0 (active), left 100% (not yet shown), and left: -100% (already done)
What happens now is that when I switch classes to show a certain page, the page container 'jumps to the left'. In Chrome nearly -100% in Firefox about -70% same in Safari.
Those values are my guess because when I open the dev-tools, nothing is to be found in the styles, in the computed values anywhere.
When I move back to the previous page the container jumps back to its original position, and if I move again to the critical page it stays.
I do no positioning whatsoever with JavaScript anywhere, I only switch classes on HTML elements.
After hours of experimenting back and forth, I found out that the problem is in some way JavaScript-related anyhow.
Using the exact same CSS and HTML with a slightly older version of JavaScript does not show the strange behavior. The changes in the Script are mostly ES2020-module related, and the new version does nothing even remotely related to DOM manipulation different from the older working version.
When not using transitions, the shift of the container does not occur.
Has anyone come across something similar?
Does anyone know of other tools to deeper analyze the current layout state of a page more than the respective developer tools of the browsers?
Any other ideas?
Today I found a solution and at least some kind of explanation, but I still have to investigate some more to truly understand the why and how. I'll post an update if I find a better explanation.
The problem has to do with a text field and focus.
The page in question has a text (search) as its main component.
[I am aware and always was that browsers try to move focused elements into view, regardless of what the author's CSS says.
Therefore, when I decided to give focus to the text field which it does not have on its own, as every page movement required a button to be clicked, I did so on transitionend. This has never changed.
When the issue first occurred, one of the things I tried first was to disable that (auto) focus behavior. It did not solve the problem.
I cannot say what made that change in behavior happen. I change the construction of the page to include a grid some time before the issue occurred. That in itself was not the reason, however (it worked for quite some time with that system, and removing it did not sole the behavior).]
What solved the issue was to initially fully disable the text field and only enable it on transitionend (then focusing it).
The reason browsers moved the page to different positions likely has to do with this situation, as the text fields width is ch based.
The important takeaway (for now) for me is, that there is no hint to be found in the developer tools when the browsers moves - elements in the (in my case unsuccessful) attempt to keep inputs in the viewport.
I think that this should be changed/fixed.
I will as soon as I have the time try to better understand the things that made the problem occur, If someone has information or experience with similar situations pleas add useful hints and background info.

Infinite scrolling text without gap and with dinamically changing content

So I have this issue with something like old deprecated <marquee>. Here's fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/qbqz0kay/1/
It's one (and simpliest) of hundreds of attempts. I can't resolve main issues:
how to remove the gap between end and (new) beginning of the list (it should be like one infinitely scrolling sentence). I've tried with removing first li elements and adding them to the end but it affected overall dimensions of the list and in consequence - the animation was disrupted.
part of the list will be changing once in a while (site is connected to websocket) and every change in its content affect dimensions of the list also. So again - problem with stuttering animation occured.
Any ideas how to handle this? I've seen many ready-made examples but none of them handles those two issues.
Marquee can't help you in this case, as you can't achieve continuous scrolling using this element. Instead, just a bit of javascript might do the trick here. I tried this example which is also very well documented on my own blog and worked perfectly fine, more on this article:

Transition CSS3 freeze in google Chrome Windows

I'm experiencing a very weird chrome (45 and 46 windows only) behaviour with css3 transition using fullpage.js
The transition "freeze" 80% of the time when I'm going from the first to the second section of a website. And then, everything work fine.
Take a look by yourself :
first you will need to login as the website is still under construction.
Http://www.evandorlot.com/wp-login
Login : Guest
Pass: Luckyone
then, come back to the home page www.evandorlot.com
Sroll down, here's the bug. From the first to the second slide of the website, the transitions "freeze" they pop instantly to their final stage.
After pressing ctrl+f5 and trying again, sometime it work, sometime no... it seams to be a chrome bug as it work 20% of the time. But I would like to fix it somehow. For this I need to know what cause the issue.
I'm working on this bug for more than a week now and don't find any solutions:
I tried to disable all the TweenMax animations, then all the css3 animations that are not vital. I also disabled all my custom javascript expet fullpage.js function without any configuration, I tried removing the image from the second slide, deleting the second slide, swapping the second slide with another, replacing the image, the text, deleting the diamond icon, deleting the menu on the bottom right corner, actiavating GPU acceleration by adding CSS3 translateZ to each elements that is animated on the first and second slide... Nothing fixed the bug.
The only way to make it working properly is to empty ALL the content from the second slide and leave the entire section empty. So I guess something cause the issue, but I really don't know what.
I know it's a long shot but if anyone has already experienced similar bug or has a suggestion to fix it. It will be very useful as I'm totally desperate :)

Image Cube Animation Not Working

I'm using the jQuery plugin Image Cube (http://keith-wood.name/imageCube.html) for the first time. I love the plugin, but within the context of my landing page I can't for the life of me get it to work.
Here's a test on my server that works well:
http://209.236.69.153/~dentalaw/test.php
And here is my landing page, which does not work (the first dentist image is what is supposed to rotate):
http://209.236.69.153/~dentalaw/
Any suggestions? I've tried adjusting things like position, tried removing the overflow:auto. I mean, I've really tried everything I can think of, and I can't get it to work. Now, I turn to your greater knowledge! ;)
I figured it out. This plugin doesn't like classes, so if I just switch everything to inline styling it works like a charm!

jQuery Isotope does not maintain layout

I am using jQuery Isotope for my personal website:
http://www.ryanpays.com
The issues i am facing are when a user clicks either 'Websites' or 'HTML-Email' after the page has loaded there is no animation of the project thumbnails when filtering. However, they do animate when either link is clicked again.
Also i would like to preserve the layout of the 'Clients and projects' section after the animation. It seems to break onto a new row/s when there should be enough room for the last child to be positioned on the first row. When 'show all' is clicked it does not return to the original layout either. I am unsure if there is something i need to do in the CSS to achieve this or maybe re-structure my HTML.
Update
I have worked around this issue by initialising isotope on page load and then again on click. Doesn't look right in IE6 (can live with that for now) and is not really the functionality i would ideally like to achieve.
You need to set your #UL to #UL.isotope because it is adding that class on click, and it needs to already be applied for the css3 animations to work. Just had this issue today, www.mactyler.net you can see it working.
