Example

Expected behavior

List is updated in place

Actual behavior

For brief moments both the old and new content seem to be visible, causing flickering. This happens as soon as ngAnimate is depended upon even if there are no animations applied.

Affected Browsers

I was able to reproduce this in chrome, safari and firefox. The issue seems to be most visible in firefox.

After some further investigation:
This seems to be caused by

angular.js/src/ngAnimate/animate.js

Line 551 in 57c43dd

$timeout(startAnimation, 1, false);

Does anyone (@matsko ?) know there is a timeout in this place?

[jwagner]

As a quick workaround this works

.ng-leave, .ng-leave-active {
  display: none;
}

See #3613 ... @matsko has put together a PR that fixes the issue.

I somehow missed that one. Thanks for the link. I guess I can close this issue then as its a dupe.
