I've noticed residual pixel fragments left behind after a simple CSS animation of size and box shadows from one side of the screen to the other.

Here is the Code Pen so you can see it in action, and it looks like this in Chrome 66:

enter image description here

Is there anyway to remove these leftover fragments?

Here is the code:

* {
  
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: content-box;
}

#container {
  
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}
  
#box {
    
  position: relative;
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  animation: move 2s infinite alternate ease-in-out;
}

@keyframes move {
  
  0% {
    
    left:  0;
    background-color: blue;
    border-radius: 0;
  }
  
  100% {
    
    left: calc(100vw - 270px);
    background-color: red;
    border-radius: 50%;
    box-shadow:
      0 0 0 20px black,
      0 0 0 40px cyan,
      0 0 0 60px yellow,
      0 0 0 80px pink,
      0 0 0 100px gray,
      0 0 0 120px blue;
  }
}

  <div id="box">
  </div>

Seems like a rendering bug that disappears when using overflow: hidden; on the #box element:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: content-box;
}

#container {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}

#box {
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  animation: move 2s infinite alternate ease-in-out;
}

@keyframes move {
  0% {
    left: 0;
    background-color: blue;
    border-radius: 0;
  }
  100% {
    left: calc(100vw - 250px);
    background-color: red;
    border-radius: 50%;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 20px black, 0 0 0 40px cyan, 0 0 0 60px yellow, 0 0 0 80px pink, 0 0 0 100px gray, 0 0 0 120px blue;
  }
}

  <div id="box">

I have seen similar problems in chrome and most of them can be fixed by adding transform:translateZ(0); on the element. Adding transform:translateZ(0); does seem to work here. More about translateZ(0)

* {
  
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  box-sizing: content-box;
}

#container {
  
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100vh;
}
  
#box {
    
  position: relative;
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  animation: move 2s infinite alternate ease-in-out;
  transform:translateZ(0);
}

@keyframes move {
  
  0% {
    
    left:  0;
    background-color: blue;
    border-radius: 0;
  }
  
  100% {
    
    left: calc(100vw - 250px);
    background-color: red;
    border-radius: 50%;
    box-shadow:
      0 0 0 20px black,
      0 0 0 40px cyan,
      0 0 0 60px yellow,
      0 0 0 80px pink,
      0 0 0 100px gray,
      0 0 0 120px blue;
  }
}
