JQuery: Children Disappear on Parent Size Animation

Question

In this simplified version of a hierarchical diagram, child elements disappear when their parent\'s size is animated. Is there any way to prevent this?

Answer 1

As part of the animate method, it sets an overflow:hidden style to the parent element. That temporarily hides the child blocks. That is maybe a clue, but I don't know what the best way to avoid it would be.
