A user reported a problem he is seeing with a "Cover Flow" type of animation in his site. It used to look 3D-ish and now it doesn't:

"Here is a summary  

(a) www.starbase-alpha.com
(b) www.starbase-alpha.com/3dplaylist

 __________|13.0.1|14b8|15a2|16a1|

I think this is a Tech Evangelism bug.

I the site html, 
.card {


    -moz-transform: skew(0deg,-35deg) scale3d(0.70,0.7,0.7);



skew() is no longer in the current Firefox. See Bug 734953 .

s/I the site html, /In the site html, /

The site should change "skew(0deg,-35deg)" to "skewY(-35deg)" to get code that will work in all browsers.

No regression window needed -- Alice is correct, this is bug 734953.

Juan, can you get in touch with the user about this?  What happened here was a spec change, and us tracking it.

I've contacted the user, pointed him to the bug URL, and I've sent him the suggestion in comment #5.

The issue was been resolved (b) and works in FFx -->13.0x.

I was unaware of any changes as I had used skew(x,y) as opposed to skewY.
I do apologize for that omission.

The issue still remains with (a) FFx --> 13.0x/FF14x which can best be seen when using 13/14 and then 15/16.

I was told that the "Star Wars" crawl does not/cannot work in FF and set out to do so with the result seen in FF13/14. Chrome, Safari and iPAD
Why not in FF15a2/FF16a2?

Thank You

Willie

I assume your problem(a)to be that texts of 3d animation disappears during animation.
And I Filed Bug 772296

Boris

Has there been any other spec change and where may one find this info?

A subsequent, question relates to using scale3d(x,y,z) as it relates to mobiles and desktops in which the latter use the GPU
is not scale3d(x,y,z) equal to scaleX(), scaleY(), scaleZ()?

Comment 14

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Willie, I'm not sure what you're asking about regarding other spec changes.  Spec changes happen all the time for unstable drafts like transforms.  Finding out when they happen involved either reading the www-style mailing list (where they're usually announced) or tracking the actual repository the specification is stored in.  I'm not sure where that is for transforms, actually.

Note sure about your last question, but it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with this bug.

We've decided we're going to restore skew() support.
