A strange animation jump with "box-sizing: border-box"

Hi!

I've noticed a strange behavior of element when animating its height from "0" to "auto".

In the Codepen attached you can see how the bottom padding of the <main> tag jumps at the end of unfolding animation.

I've found out that this problem happens because I use box-sizing: border-box in CSS. If I switch to content-box it solves the problem, but is there a way to fix it while keeping the border-box? Please, advice.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Aleksei,

 

This will probably solves your issue.

 

  if (closed) {
    
    gsap.to(main, {
      duration: 1,
      height: (_,t) => {
        let prevHeight = gsap.getProperty(t,'height')
        t.style.height = 'auto'
        let h = gsap.getProperty(t,'height')
        t.style.height = prevHeight + 'px'
        return h + 'px'
      },
      paddingBottom: 20
    });

Yeah, the problem is that you're changing the padding with your tween which affects the height. When you animate to a height of "auto", GSAP automatically does basically what @tailbreezy suggested, but it does so internally. In your case, though, when the tween starts and it does that calculation, the paddingBottom is 0, thus when it forces the "height" to "auto", it's calculated with padding as 0, thus it's 20px off in your case. 

 

You can add it in there using a function-based value: 

gsap.to(main, {
   duration: 1,
   height: (i, target) => {
     let cssText = target.style.cssText,
         newHeight;
     target.style.height = "auto";
     target.style.paddingBottom = "20px";
     newHeight = gsap.getProperty(target, "height");
     target.style.cssText = cssText;
     return newHeight;
   },
   paddingBottom: 20
 });

Here's a fork:
