When clicking very short intervals like the Holocene (0.0117 ma) or any of its child intervals (Greenlandian, Northgrippian, or Meghalayan), causes the the rectangles of the two top level parents (Geologic Time & Phanerozoic) to be positioned incorrectly.
I've posted a question about this bug on the: Observable forum and it was suggested by user 'mootari' that it might be due to precision problems (ie numerical instabilities). When the transition is slowed down – as suggested by mootari – the "Geologic Time" label noticeably starts shaking when clicking shorter intervals (f.e. Late Pleistocene) and in the case of Holocene and child intervals, the parent rectangles disappear after some time. This is especially apparent when the transition duration is increased.
I've made a debug notebook on Observable which reveals that the incorrect placement occurs somewhere halfway in the transition and that it affects all level 1 label placements.
