This seems to be fixed in Chrome now, but still plagues Safari (at least for me). Thanks much for writing on this, it was driving me nuts.

OK, tried it now. Fantastic, it worked, many thanks!

It worked for me with 5000px background image and 49.999% rather than 50.001%. As long as it works I am happy, and my client will stop asking why ‘that bit is shifted over and looks all wrong’.

Three years on from Phil’s workaround and this bug STILL exists in Chrome etc. What is wrong with the developers? Do they live in a sealed box? I guess so…

Many thanks for the fix, going to try it now.

(in my case, worked with 49.99)

Perhaps @Pacoup was trying out `background-position: 50.001% 0;` without the media query. I was tempted, too, and may investigate further.

In any case, this worked elegantly for me with a minimum of fuss. Thank you!!

I didn’t work for me before I update my background image size to 5000px. Now it works, thanks.
