CSS3 transform rotate causing 1px shift in Chrome - google-chrome

Question

I'm having an issue in chrome with a css3 transform rotate transition. The transition is working fine but just after it finishes the element shifts by a pixel. The other strange thing is that it only happens when the page is centered (margin:0 auto;). The bug is still there if you remove the transition as well.
You can see it happening here:
http://jsfiddle.net/MfUMd/1/
HTML:
<div class="wrap">
<img src="https://github.com/favicon.ico" class="target" alt="img"/>
</div>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="block"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrap {
margin:50px auto;
width: 100px;
}
.block {
width:30px;
height:30px;
background:black;
}
.target,.block {
display:block;
-webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease;
-moz-transition: all 0.4s ease;
-o-transition: all 0.4s ease;
transition: all 0.4s ease;
}
.target:hover,.block:hover {
-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
}
Comment out the margin:0 auto; line to make it go away.
Anyone have any ideas of how to stop this while keeping the page centered?
I'm using Version 24.0.1312.57 on OSX 10.6.8

Answer 1

Actually just add this to the site container which holds all the elements:
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
Should fix it!

Answer 2

I had the same issue, I fixed it by adding the following to the css of the div that is using the transition:
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
-webkit-transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.0, 1.0);
Backface is used for 3D-based transitions but if you are only using 2D there is no need for the extra stuff.

Answer 3

will-change: transform; on the element helped to me in 2022 (Chrome). No more 1px shift of the text inside the element after zoom animation.

Answer 4

there is something unusual in the relation between the body dimension and the structure of the transform. I don't in fact is because the fiddle iframe that contains the preview of the code.
Anyway, I will suggest this approach instead:
body{
width:100%;
float:left;
}
.wrap {
margin: 50px 45%;
width: 5%;
float: left;
}
.block {
width:30px;
height:30px;
background:black;
}
.target,.block {
-webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease;
-moz-transition: all 0.4s ease;
-o-transition: all 0.4s ease;
transition: all 0.4s ease;
}
.target:hover,.block:hover {
-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(90deg);
-o-transform: rotate(90deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(90deg);
}
Here is the updated fiddle

For 3d transform use this instead:
-webkit-transform: perspective(1px) scale3d(1.1, 1.1, 1);
transform: perspective(1px) scale3d(1.1, 1.1, 1);
