I have a row of items that transition in width using cubic-bezier. When hovering over the white gaps between the items the width glitches, getting larger and smaller very quickly. How do I fix? – https://codepen.io/reddragon303/pen/eYwvejY

<div class="grid">
  <div class="item"></div>
  <div class="item"></div>
  <div class="item"></div>
  <div class="item"></div>
  <div class="item"></div>
 </div>

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

html, body {
  margin: 0;
}

.grid {
  display: flex;
  gap: 20px;
  position: absolute;
  top: 50%;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

.item {
  width: 300px;
  height: 500px;
  transition: width 0.5s cubic-bezier(.87,-1.38,.03,1.54);
  background-image: url(https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2024/07/03/08/05/hot-air-balloon-8869138_1280.jpg);
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  overflow: hidden;
} .item:hover {
  width:500px;
}

Thanks
