TimelineMax addPause() internmittedly not respected

[kaotix 1 Likes (Newbie)]

I haven't been able to find an exact way to reproduce this.
 
I have a simple timeline ($elBg is a jquery element): 

tl.add('intro').addPause('intro')
.to($elBG, 2, {left: '-1040px'})
.add('something').addPause('something')
.to($elBG, 2, {left: '-2040px'})
.add('ending').addPause('ending')
.to($elBG, 2, {left: '-3040px'});

And I have two buttons that trigger .play or .reverse to move between the scenes. Every now and then the pause is skipped over and it continues to the next scene. I can't find an exact way to reproduce this I'm afraid as most of the time it works as expected. I have solved the issue by using tl.tweenTo(tl.getLabelBefore()); and tl.tweenTo(tl.getLabelAfter()); instead for my buttons but thought you might like to know incase there was a bug.

Hey

 

The default demo pen that you posted exhibits the issue that I described as it uses the addPause method.

Sorry for the hassle. You are correct, there is a problem. We were recently alerted to this in another thread.

 

If possible try reverting back to an earlier version.

 

We are working on a fix.

Sorry about the hassle. I have attached a preview copy of GSAP 1.15.2 (not released yet). This should resolve the issue. Would you mind double-checking and letting us know?

Hey Jack. That seems to have fixed it as far as I can tell, no hassle at all. Thanks for that. Awesome as always.

Just to add, not sure if this is related or it might even be intended behaviour.

 

When you first load the pen posted above, if you press reverse first you have to then press play twice to get it to start playing.

This should be resolved in the latest release (1.16.0). Thanks for your patience, and sorry about the glitch. Happy tweening!
