animate not playing well with hide

animate not playing well with hide

I am using jQuery edge.

  1.  $(function(){
  2.       $('#lab')
  3.         .animate({height: '200px'})
  4.         .hide();
  5. });

stylehsheet

  1. #lab{ background: yellow; } 

After the animate expands height the element stays there and never hides. Tested with all non-IE browsers.

Am I missing something or is it a bug?
