[Android WebView frame pacing]

I am running greensock animations within a WebView in an android app and I am getting random "choppi-ness". 

After running tests, I am suspecting that the frame pace of the Android app and the pace of the greensock timeline are out of sync. 

This may be causing an animation to last longer than a frame and causing jumpiness in the animation.

The GPU performance is showing that the animation frames are taking less than 16ms to render but still a visual chop to the animation.

 

Has this ever been explored?

I could be way off base for the cause of the chop but I have done "force3D" to force it onto the gpu and I am certain the code is right since it does clear up in a normal browser, however, there isn't a significant change in the Android WebView.

Oh, gotcha!  Thanks!

Thanks for that change, that is much smoother on the troublesome Mac OS'es as well.  Thanks for the explanation of the change as well.

 

I looked at the FAQ's to file a bug and they seem to just point to this forum.  Is there any other tips you can give me to file it as a bug?

I've got a Pen that animates & functions great on Firefox & Safari across the board.  It does great on Chrome on Mac OS 10.11 and Windows 10.  But it falls apart (laggy animation, flickering of individual rays and/or rectangular segments of the animation, and even the Codepen interface itself starts to lag) on the exact same version of Chrome (Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)) on Mac OS 10.12 and 10.13.   Any ideas?
