Hmm - I'm not sure how or why someone would rely on a hidden element appearing instantaneously and then animating back to its original state. I suppose it's possible, but those have to be rare enough cases that the benefits to new jQuery converts would take precedence.
Things like animate, fadeTo, toggles, etc. are a different issue. I'm just talking about the fadeIn, fadeOut, slideIn and slideOut effects which are essentially wrappers for the animate function. I did create a ticket - thanks for the prompt. John Resig wrote: > > That is to say that this has been brought up before, but was forgotten > again.
