Why is "Image 10" not sliding completely on my Webflow Home Page preview mode, but works fine in the interaction preview in design mode?

TL;DR
  • Ensure the parent container has the correct overflow and position settings to avoid clipping.
  • Verify the interaction is targeting the correct element and use Move instead of Translate.
  • Adjust duration, delay, and easing (ease-out or linear) to prevent glitches.
  • Check for overlapping or duplicate elements interfering with the animation.
  • Test on a published site or different browsers to confirm if the issue persists.

"Image 10" not sliding completely in Webflow Preview Mode, despite working fine in the interaction preview, is likely caused by rendering differences between modes. Here’s how to troubleshoot and fix it:

1. Check Overflow and Positioning

  • Ensure the parent container has overflow: visible or hidden, depending on your interaction setup. If it’s set to auto or scroll, it may clip the animation.
  • Verify position: relative on parent elements, especially if using movements based on percentages or pixel values.

2. Confirm Interaction Targeting

  • Double-check that the interaction is assigned to the correct element. If the animation is triggered by another element, ensure the target is correct.
  • Use Move rather than Translate in animations—Webflow Preview Mode sometimes handles transforms differently.

3. Review Animation Timing & Easing

  • Try adjusting the duration or delay slightly, as rounding differences can cause glitches.
  • Use ease-out or linear easing for smoother movements instead of Webflow’s default ease.

4. Look for Hidden or Duplicate Elements

  • Check if another element overlaps the sliding image, causing a visual cutoff.
  • Use Webflow’s Navigator panel to inspect unwanted layers or duplicates that might be interfering.

5. Test Outside Webflow Preview

  • Publish the site temporarily and check the live version. Sometimes, Webflow’s Preview Mode behaves differently from actual browsers.
  • View in Incognito Mode or another browser to rule out caching issues.

Summary

Adjust overflow settings, position properties, and animation timing, then test in a published environment. If the issue persists, check for hidden elements or incorrect animation targeting.
