Yes, it does appear to be resolved on most systems.. So I will consider the problem resolved, though it would be nice to know how/why…

I also saw it previously in Chrome on my android 4.42 phone, and the customer noticed it on their various Windows PCs and browsers they tried.. (not sure of versions yet)
On these combinations below, I NO LONGER see the issue (but it appears that the SLIDING is no longer working either – images simply change with NO sliding at all) :(
