Z-index problems on ipad

Question

There's a fixed positioned layer with a bottom z-index that keeps popping up over the top of a relative positioned layer with an upper z-index. When the above layer scrolls over the top of the lower layer the fixed below layer appears on the top then disappears again when the page stops moving. The behavior happens on all the different "work" pages viewed in landscape "@media screen and (max-width: 1100px)" on an ipad. I have only tested on an ipad tablet not any other tablets.

Note:The behavior does not appear when viewing site on a pc in a collapsed browser sized "@media screen and (max-width: 1100px)". This leads me to believe the behavior is specific to tablets viewed in landscape only.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Add -webkit-transform: translate3d(0,0,0) to the not fixed position elements on the same DOM level. In your case .innertube and maybe .box.
