My stroke-width animation is extremely abrupt

When i hover over the hammer icon, the stroke-width increases then abruptly decreases. Not sure why. I followed all the steps.

Here's my code:

.hammer-bg {
  stroke: #fee16e;
}

.hammer-bg:hover {
  fill: #feae6e;
  stroke-width: 8px;
}

There isn't any transition defined yet for this element. If you wanted a similar effect to what the gear does, you could add this line to your ".hammer-bg" CSS rule:

  transition: .3s ease-out;

It's possible that this was intended to be shown in the video but accidentally left out. In that case, you might want to submit a bug report to the Support staff.

Make sure you are hovering over the circle background, not the hammer icon itself (which is not tied to the color animation).
