ng-switch / ng-if flickering

[Matthieu Scholler]

Hi all,

I recently migrated to 1.2.0-rc1 and I'm really happy with it. Especially for the ng-if which can be a big performance improvement for rendering, compared to ng-show.

Except there is some flickering when the boolean changes. See the plunkr below for an example:

On Chrome, you'll see that the first 2 implementations will flicker whereas the 2 others won't. 

On Firefox, the flicker happens only rarely.

Is that normal? Is there a way to avoid that? Should I go back to using ng-show?

This is a bug with ngAnimate in 1.2 rc1.  You will notice how if you remove 'ngAnimate' as a dependency it works fine (see this plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/BNKc9CfjiEBuYWCNdRWV?p=preview)
