Created attachment 107407 [details] reduced version of the bug. I am assigning a transition to run on the hover even to an after pseudoelement, but the transition doesn't work at all. Instead, it instantly moves to the end point.

pseudoelements are special - they do not appear the DOM, DOM Events can't reference them as targets, and they don't expose a computedStyle. It's not clear that transitions *should* work on them.

OK so after discussion with another CSS WG member it turns out that transitions definitely should work on ::before and ::after pseudoelements, so this is a valid bug.

Animations also do not work.
