I have an HTML page which is displayed correctly in all devices and all browser except the stock Android browser in Xperia Z.
On this particular device running Android 4.2.2, I am using jQuery v1.7.2, and using $('div').slideUp and $('div').slideDown methods only, and it results in text distortion (it is in English, so I suppose it is not related to any specific font), the text appears as horizontal lines as they would appear for a fraction of a second while sliding up/ down.
I have tried turning the debug mode ON by about:debug in the stock browser, and the javascript console shows no error/ warning messages.
I tried changing the user agent string to iPhone, and to my surprise, the text is rendered as expected.
I have searched for similar issue, and came across Android stock browser crashing, it points to jQuery bug where slideUp/ slideDown have problems in Android stock browser (please note that jQuery and Android versions are different in the reported bug).
My questions are:
- Is this a known issue?
- Has anyone faced similar problem before?
- Is there a workaround to resolve it?
I'd really appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.
