angularjs - ngAnimate on ngShow. Preventing animation when it starts first time

Question

I was playing around with recently added angular.js animations feature, and this doesn't work as desired

<style>
    .myDiv{
        width:400px;
        height:200px;
        background-color:red;
    }
    .fadeIn-setup,.fadeOut-setup {
      -webkit-transition: 1s linear opacity;
      -moz-transition: 1s linear opacity;
      -o-transition: 1s linear opacity;
      transition: 1s linear opacity;
    }
    .fadeIn-setup{
      opacity:0;
    }
    .fadeOut-setup{
      opacity:1;
    }
    .fadeIn-setup.fadeIn-start {
      opacity: 1;
    }
    .fadeOut-setup.fadeOut-start{
        opacity:0;
    }
</style>

<div ng-app>
    <div ng-controller='ctrl'>
       <input type='button' value='click' ng-click='clicked()' />  
       <div ng-show="foo == true"  class='myDiv' ng-animate="{show: 'fadeIn', hide:'fadeOut'}">
       </div>
     </div>
</div>

function ctrl($scope){
    $scope.foo = false;
    $scope.clicked = function(){
       $scope.foo = !($scope.foo);
    }
}

it spoils away myDiv on the dom.ready and starts it fading out. Whereas it initially should be hidden. How to fix that?

Answer 1

This issue still persists even now with 1.2.22. However, one of these solutions solves it very easily.

After trying all the solutions mentioned here I wanted to specifically highlight cocoggu's suggestion to ac360 as it is by far the most concise and it "just works".

As he suggests, simply adding the ng-hide class to the offending element resolves the problem immediately. - It prevents the initial animation glitch and allows all subsequent animations to behave as expected.

Working Solution thanks to cocoggu

<div id="offending-element" class="ng-hide"></div>
