In React Transition component has overlap bug when using translate.

[90sPixelDev]

I have a div that plays the transition on load and always stays visible. Which looks like this:

        <Transition
            show={true}
            appear={true}
            as={Fragment}
            enter="transition duration-500"
            enterFrom="opacity-0 -translate-x-10"
            enterTo="opacity-100 translate-x-0"
            leave="transition duration-250"
            leaveFrom="opacity-100 translate-x-0"
            leaveTo="opacity-0 -translate-x-10"
        >
        // <(The absolute positioned Child Element that doesn't overlap correctly)>
        </Transition>

When I have the trans-x-0 in the enterTo property or in the leaveFrom property I get a weird overlapping of the component where it overlaps other components which are absolute. While preventing a an absolute positioned child element in the transition component from properly overlapping other components (z-index is set fine)

If I remove the translate-x-0 from the enterTo property or the leaveFrom property it then plays the animation just fine and doesn't incorrectly overlap other components and doesn't prevent the child component from overlapping like it should be.

Is this intended behavior or a bug ?

I was having the same issue on a project. Went back to these docs: Headless UI/Dialog

Ran this code:

import { Dialog, Transition } from '@headlessui/react'
import { Fragment, useState } from 'react'

export default function MyModal() {
  let [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState(true)

  function closeModal() {
    setIsOpen(false)
  }

  function openModal() {
    setIsOpen(true)
  }

  return (
    <>
      <div className="fixed inset-0 flex items-center justify-center">
        <button
          type="button"
          onClick={openModal}
          className="rounded-md bg-black bg-opacity-20 px-4 py-2 text-sm font-medium text-white hover:bg-opacity-30 focus:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-white focus-visible:ring-opacity-75"
        >
          Open dialog
        </button>
      </div>

      <Transition appear show={isOpen} as={Fragment}>
        <Dialog as="div" className="relative z-10" onClose={closeModal}>
          <Transition.Child
            as={Fragment}
            enter="ease-out duration-300"
            enterFrom="opacity-0"
            enterTo="opacity-100"
            leave="ease-in duration-200"
            leaveFrom="opacity-100"
            leaveTo="opacity-0"
          >
            <div className="fixed inset-0 bg-black bg-opacity-25" />
          </Transition.Child>

          <div className="fixed inset-0 overflow-y-auto">
            <div className="flex min-h-full items-center justify-center p-4 text-center">
              <Transition.Child
                as={Fragment}
                enter="ease-out duration-300"
                enterFrom="opacity-0 scale-95"
                enterTo="opacity-100 scale-100"
                leave="ease-in duration-200"
                leaveFrom="opacity-100 scale-100"
                leaveTo="opacity-0 scale-95"
              >
                <Dialog.Panel className="w-full max-w-md transform overflow-hidden rounded-2xl bg-white p-6 text-left align-middle shadow-xl transition-all">
                  <Dialog.Title
                    as="h3"
                    className="text-lg font-medium leading-6 text-gray-900"
                  >
                    Payment successful
                  </Dialog.Title>
                  <div className="mt-2">
                    <p className="text-sm text-gray-500">
                      Your payment has been successfully submitted. We’ve sent
                      you an email with all of the details of your order.
                    </p>
                  </div>

                  <div className="mt-4">
                    <button
                      type="button"
                      className="inline-flex justify-center rounded-md border border-transparent bg-blue-100 px-4 py-2 text-sm font-medium text-blue-900 hover:bg-blue-200 focus:outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-blue-500 focus-visible:ring-offset-2"
                      onClick={closeModal}
                    >
                      Got it, thanks!
                    </button>
                  </div>
                </Dialog.Panel>
              </Transition.Child>
            </div>
          </div>
        </Dialog>
      </Transition>
    </>
  )
}

Then everything was working properly and I was able to style it as needed.
