Scramble text isn't completing scramble on hover

[macaspac]

Hello! I'm having issues with GSAP's scrambleText on hover. 

 

My expectation is that, on hover on all buttons:

1. The text scrambles to its original text
2. The size of the button doesn't change to accommodate the scramble (not as important to me right now, but thought I'd include this since I'm here)

Right now, it's doing the text scrambling, but sometimes, on some buttons, it doesn't complete the full scramble, and I'm left with what looks like a typo in the button:

 

My question is, how do I ensure that the animation is completed? or, how do I prevent this from happening?

More context, this is on Webflow though I don't think this is too relevant. My code:

document.querySelectorAll(".button").forEach((element) => {
  let animation;

  element.addEventListener("mouseenter", () => {
    animation = gsap.to(element, {
      duration: 0.3,
      scrambleText: {
        text: "{original}",
        chars: "lowerCase",
        speed: 0.2,
      },
    });
  });
});

 

I'm not sure what a minimal demo is, but let me know how I can get that for you if you need it.

 

I have also attached a video. It does mess up when it's a quick mouseenter/-leave but I don't know how to articulate/troubleshoot this.

Without a minimal demo, it's very difficult to troubleshoot; the issue could be caused by CSS, markup, a third party library, a 3rd party script, etc. Would you please provide a very simple CodePen or Stackblitz that illustrates the issue? 

 

Please don't include your whole project. Just some colored <div> elements and the GSAP code is best. See if you can recreate the issue with as few dependencies as possible. Start minimal and then incrementally add code bit by bit until it breaks. Usually people solve their own issues during this process! If not, at least we have a reduced test case which greatly increases your chances of getting a relevant answer.

 

See the Pen aYYOdN by GreenSock (@GreenSock) on CodePen.

that loads all the plugins. Just click "fork" at the bottom right and make your minimal demo: 

 

Using a framework/library like React, Vue, Next, etc.? 

CodePen isn't always ideal for these tools, so here are some Stackblitz starter templates that you can fork and import the gsap-trial NPM package for using any of the bonus plugins: 

• React (please read this article!)
• Next
• Svelte
• Sveltekit
• Vue
• Nuxt

 

Please share the StackBlitz link directly to the file in question (where you've put the GSAP code) so we don't need to hunt through all the files. 

 

Once we see an isolated demo, we'll do our best to jump in and help with your GSAP-specific questions. ✅
