Example here. Basically it doesn't add the intermediate classes when showing and hiding.

The workaround is pretty simple, just don't use ngView on the body. In the example if you move ngView down onto a div it works fine.

There are a few scattered issues on stackoverflow where it does say you get some odd behaviour when adding ngView to the body but most of them aren't serious. If we shouldn't be doing this, I think there should be a warning in the docs about it.

Relying on the body node to be present right at injection has caused issues with unit testing as well as some animations on the body element. Reverting this patch fixes these issues. Closes angular#12874

Prior to this fix anchoring would allow for a container to be a document node or something higher beyond the body tag. This patch makes it fall back to body incase the rootElement node exists as a parent ancestor. Closes angular#12874
