Animation doesn't work for some type of charts starting from Angular 1.5.8

[bizonel]

Currently using AngularJs 1.6.5 (latest), but in order to find from where the issue started to happen I have downgraded all the way till 1.5.7. In this version animation is working as expected. Starting from AngularJs 1.5.8 the animation for chart type: 'solidgauge' no longer works.

Link to jsfiddle showing the issue (AngularJs 1.5.8)

Expected Behavior (AngularJs 1.5.7)

Current Behaviour

The chart is rendered fully without animation.

Your Environment

• AngularJs: 1.6.5
• highcharts: 5.0.12
• highcharts-ng: 1.1.0
• Browser: Chrome

Another issue for the same case:

Highcharts-ng last tooltip visible on load (Angular 1.5.8) [Not Functional]

http://jsfiddle.net/bizon/9kvfncaa/
No Animation & No Tooltip

Highcharts-ng last tooltip visible on load (Angular 1.5.7) [Functional]

http://jsfiddle.net/bizon/j09cxj4m/
Both Animation & Tooltip are as expected

It seems that starting with Angular 1.5.8 something changed on animation side and this is not taken into consideration in highcharts-ng.

I meet the same problem
try to use highcharts5.0.10

@lyb12358 current version of Highcharts-ng doesn't work with 5.0.10 as you can see here, there are some console errors:

And I really doubt this can be the issue, I've been working with Highcharts from younger versions, and this issue is way older then the release of 5.0.10

Can you fork and provide a functional example with Angular >=1.5.8?
