What is the expected behavior?

Content should animate when opening/closing sidenav in 'side' mode, as it does in 'push' mode.

What is the current behavior?

Content position is adjusted instantly, while the draw animates. Likely CSS transitions not being applied to the contents.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Make a component with a sidenav set to 'side' mode:
