Please see this story and try clicking on a couple of links to see what I'm talking about:

I've removed the css "transition" property for passages, but the passage background still flashes briefly when moving from passage to passage. Is there any way to avoid this? I don't recall this happening when clicking on links with simple/pure html (if div backgrounds are the same from one page to another I don't think you normally get a flash like this, do you?)... but perhaps I'm mistaken.
Just thought I'd check if this is normal and unavoidable behavior.
