When a fade in/out has been set as a popup, they will flicker or won't load properly. This is true for both apngs and svgs. Is there a way of fixing this? Is there an explanation for this? Since fades have become an important part of trials on AAO, it would be extremely helpful if this could be fixed so that using fades as popups will work. This is a problem I have witnessed, as well as others.
These are the apng fades that were used:

Re: [Bug][E][P] Fade In/Out Popup Display Issue
Enthalpy is working on a fade fixer program that replaces pop-up fades with object-based fades mostly automatically. Until we've finished testing it - something I've fallen behind on - they need to be fixed manually.

From what he told me over xat, enigma's problem is closer to "WHY do we have to use objects instead of popups"?

Re: [Bug][E][P] Fade In/Out Popup Display Issue
Could I have an ingame example, so that I can check this ?
Yes, popups should appear instantly (if there's no other element taking time to load on the screen).
Because Objects are displayed before popups, object-based fades might work a little better in practice, but in theory there shouldn't be a difference. So if it's really a problem I have to check what I can do to optimise it.

Link to an example of the bug for popups, for fade-ins. An example for the .apng extension and .svg extension have been included.

Re: [Bug][E][P] Fade In/Out Popup Display Issue
Well, of course, when neither format is really supported, there is bound to be some problems...
What I can see in testing is that :
However :
What I can see in testing is that :
- In Firefox, APNG works fine, though the first time it appears it can take a short while to load
- In Chrome, SVG works fine, though the first time it appears it can take a short while to load
However :
- In Firefox, SVG animates... until it randomly decides not to. It's very unstable, and when it blocks, restarting the trial does not change anything - the only solution is to clear cache.
- In default Chrome, APNG does not animate since it's not supported
- In Chrome with APNG extension, APNG will animate correctly but after a short delay, because that's how the extension works : the first frame of the animation is displayed normally by chrome, then the extension detects that it's supposed to be animated and does the work, but it's not instantaneous.
Though this should not cause any flickering, since the first frame is displayed while waiting; the fade is just delayed by around 0.4s I would say.

The fades seem to be working fine now? Is anybody observing a problem of this kind? If not, I'll likely close this until a report surfaces.
