Changes in zoom level should not fire transitions, which they do now. See testcase.
Created attachment 28935 [details] Testcase
The original test case does not display the bug. However, additional test cases at http://quirksmode.org/css/transitions.html do. This is my test page for common transition effects, and all transitions are triggered by a zoom, which should not happen. Tested in Chrome 14.0.835.186 and Safari 5.1 on Mac OS 10.6.8 . Opera 11.51 and Firefox 6.0.2 on the same OS do not have this bug. Alex Russell asked me to add eae@google.com and esidel@webkit.org to the cc list, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that.
I am able to reproduce this bug in Safari 16 using attached "test case" and it does do 'transition' while zooming in while other browsers (Chrome Canary 108 and Firefox Nightly 107) does not. Just wanted to share updated results. Thanks!
