widtt() and height() seems to reset element width/height css properties

[daepark]

Everytime I call $(elt).height() or $(elt).width(), I see the elt flickering which leads me to believe these get methods are resetting the width/height css values every times I call them?

Actually, it's resetting borderWidth/Height and paddingWidth/Height.

Near core.js line 641

jQuery.each( d, function(){
  old["padding" + this] = 0;
  old["border" + this + "Width"] = 0;
});

If you have specified paddings for the element, it will flicker when you call .height(). This is visually annoying~

As a temporary workaround I've found that using .css('width') and .css('height') does not flicker as bad if not at all.
