Components: Expandable table's animation is lagging

[woteska]

What is the expected behavior?

Animation works well without any lagging when I open the (expandable) table's row.

What is the current behavior?

When I try to open the row clicking on it, it is not animating, but it is lagging.
(When I close the row clicking on it again, animation works very well.)

What are the steps to reproduce?

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-sbj26m

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

"@angular/material": "7.3.4",
"@angular/cdk": "7.3.4",
"@angular/core": "7.2.9",

• Chrome, Opera, Firefox latest
• Edge, Internet Explorer latest (I cannot open the expandable row at all.)

I am seeing the same behaviour (animation is not smooth) even on the angular demo page: https://material.angular.io/components/table/examples. Closing the expanded row is smooth though.

I have the same issue on Expansion Panel but my case is on Ionic 4 framework. I tested on the local web browser and it is ok and very smooth. However i try to run on real android device, it is very lag. Hope there will be a solution for this issue

Removing "display: none" from the "collapsed" animation state in the Component seems to fix the problem.

I too could fix this phenomenon the way @acorbellini described.

I encountered the same issue.

Compare "Table with expandable rows" example in https://material.angular.io/components/table/examples (expanding rows is smooth), with its own official Stackblitz which uses updated dependencies https://stackblitz.com/angular/drlaxdpogep?file=app%2Ftable-expandable-rows-example.ts (expanding rows is not smooth).

@acorbellini's workaround worked for me, thanks!

@acorbellini and @anisabboud Tried your solution, but then whole table gets crappy after 1 expansion :/
Any other idea?

While display:none allows the animation to smoothly transition, it also causes the page to lag significantly when more and more rows are displayed. Any other solutions?

Have been running into this issue as well. I followed https://material.angular.io/components/table/examples exactly and it fixed it.

I was using '<mat-table>', '<mat-cell>' etc instead of using <'table mat-table>' '<td mat-cell>'switching that fixed the issue. Also notice the example code on the material angular website removed the display: 0 from the collapse state.
