Summary Reflows occur during CSS Transform animation with certain child nodes

Performing a CSS Transform animation on an element results in unnecessary reflows when the element contains one of the following nodes: -'select' element -'input' element of type 'text' with an associated placeholder containing text (Note: if the placeholder is empty, it does not cause reflows) See the associated jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/VkuhJ/

How are you detecting unnecessary reflows? Your testcase looks fine to me in Mac Safari.

I'm using the Developer Tools "Timeline" inspector. Please see attached screenshot (using Chrome 23.0.1240.0 canary). With the elements set to their standard display property, there are numerous "Layout" records following the "mousedown" event. Set the trouble elements to "display: none;" and the "Layout" records disappear. I've also tested this against Mac Safari 6.0 (7536.25) with the same results.
