Fixed attachment background image flicker/disappear in chrome when coupled with a css transform

I am currently doing a parallax website theme. The background images need to be attached as fixed for certain 'div's and 'section's to avoid jquery indulging in everything. The problem was the background images of the tags below any animated item disappeared while the transformation is being done, only on Google Chrome. Remedy?

This has been a very common unsolved mystery. Recently I had the same problem, and '-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden', proved to be less than useless (on my 'fixed' attached background), since the background just disappeared when it was set. (Additional Info: the reason is that when the background is set as fixed, it is almost similar to putting a fixed 'div' in the background and setting the original div background to be transparent. Hidden backface does the obvious).

To solve the current problem, try setting the 'position' propery of the element as 'static', or if you have given it some other value, namely 'relative', 'fixed' or 'absolute', just remove those.

If you don't remember setting the position property, and the problem still persist, my suggestion is that you use a debugging tool on chrome or firefox, to

make sure there are no manually set values to the 'position' property other than 'static'.

Just spent half an hour searching... Thought this could make it easier for you... regards. :)

Same problem here. I had a sticky header using position:fixed; that flickered in PC Chrome 34. I tried the solutions in this thread, position:static; in the parent broke other parts. But I know adding -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0); basically makes Chrome turn that html into a layer so that it won't get repainted. That worked for me.

element {
  position:fixed;
  top:0;
  left:50%;
  width:960px;
  height:50px;
  margin-left:-480px;
  -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
  /* ...all other CSS... */
}

UPDATE
future-friendly answer is to use the will-change property to create a layer!

element {
      position:fixed;
      top:0;
      left:50%;
      width:960px;
      height:50px;
      margin-left:-480px;
      will-change:top;
      /* ...all other CSS... */
    }

And I'll be honest, this seems like a weird solution to fix the flicker, but in essence it makes the element a layer, same as translate3d().
