Rendering artifacts on Bootstrap modals in IE11 and Edge
Rendering artifacts on Bootstrap modals in IE11 and Edge
I am repeatedly experiencing Rendering artifacts on several versions of IE11 and Edge, as well as several different devices with different graphics cards and drivers, and different update states of Windows 10.
The blue arrows on the screenshots point to some of them. On this screenshot, the artifacts result form closing dropdown lists. But they may also appear around charts.
Interesting point: They only occur on Bootstrap modals.
How can I avoid them?
The artifacts are parts of the underlying page content. It seems as if changes on the modal <div> (for instance erased dropdown lists) lead to parts of the main page becoming rendered over the modal.
<div>
Code snippet:
jQuery(document).ready(function(e) {
jQuery('#mymodal').trigger('click');
});

Result in IE11 and Edge:

Thank you Jeffrey, your workaround works if I choose 0.99999 or 1.0001 for scale.

You can trigger a different rendering by using CSS:
transform: scale(1);
In your case, you said that does not prevent the artifacts, but making it slightly lower/higher does:
transform: scale(0.99999);
or:
transform: scale(1.00001);
An alternative way of altering the rendering would be:
transform: translate3d(0,0,0);
Note: This may change the text-aliasing a little.

Hard to help without any code available, but does adding
transform:scale(1)to the modal or some and/of the elements help? It forces a different rendering. You can also trytransform: translate3d(0,0,0), but that may change the text-aliasing a little.– Jeffrey Roosendaal
