I\'ve found a bug in Chrome on windows Vista: CSS3 backface-visibility:hidden doesn\'t work. Here is an example: jsFiddle
This works fine on chrome in windows 7 and
I had the same issue, where "-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden" was actually needed and what worked for me was to first set it to "visible" and then "hidden".
-webkit-backface-visibility: visible; -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
I hope that this will help you.
