looper.js plugin - images invisible in between crossfade animations

looper.js plugin - images invisible in between crossfade animations

I've been trying to use looper.js to loop through various words or images inside a div (examples)

Everything seems to work OK except when I use the crossfade animation option 

  1. class="xfade".


The content appears only during animations, and is otherwise invisible.


NOTE: This is partially fixed by commenting out "position: relative" in ".looper .looper-inner":


  1.     .looper .looper-inner {
  2.       overflow: hidden;
  3.       width: 100%;
  4.       height: auto;
  5.       /*position: relative;*/
  6.       z-index: 2;
  7.     }


BUT it is not an acceptable solution since it messes up my responsive layout on mobile.


I guess it must be a noob mistake on my part since I'm using default official examples...

Thank you for your help.
