Bug 232280 – Missing 'from' selector on @keyframes works erratically

• Component: Animations
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

When @keyframes rules are used to animate elements and the 'from' selector is missing, the animation behaves erratically.
See this example:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/web-platform-vmalvc?file=styles.css

styles.css contains this @keyframes rule:

@keyframes dash {
  to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  }
}

Running the project in Safari Technology Preview, I find that the line is animated erratically: anywhere from 20-60% of the time. If I add the 'from' keyword:

@keyframes dash {
  from {
    stroke-dashoffset: 14.7;
  }
  to {
    stroke-dashoffset: 0;
  }
}

The animation seems to happen consistently.

W3C says that 'If a 0% or from keyframe is not specified, then the user agent constructs a 0% keyframe using the computed values of the properties being animated.' That computation does not seem to be happening consistently. (Other browsers like Chrome work fine.)

Can you still reproduce the issue with Safari Technology Preview 139? I'm not able to reproduce it myself.

Verified: no longer reproduces.

Great! Thanks for checking.
