    <thetext>If you hover over one of the squares in the grid, you&apos;ll notice the text in the grid squares after it in the grid get lighter during the transition, and then return to normal when the transition is complete. 

- It only happens to the squares after the one you hover over.
- Happens during the transition but not before or after.
- Doesn&apos;t happen in Chrome, FF4 or Opera.
- The &apos;lightening&apos; of the text happens immediately and reverts immediately (not a smooth transition).
- The &apos;lightening&apos; problem was not intended in the code at all.</thetext>

    <thetext>The squares go in and out of compositing mode, and when subpixel antialiasing is on (which is the default on Mac OS X), text rendering in composited layers is different. A workaround would be to permanently disable subpixel antialiasing on the page, using &quot;-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;&quot;.

There may already be bugs in the database covering the issues seen in this case.</thetext>

    <thetext>I can&apos;t see any difference between Safari, Chrome, or Firefox in handling of the test case (the link is unavailable, but the http://css3exp.com/button/# test case is still active.</thetext>
