Animated buttons -- bug or screwy PC?

I thought maybe I found a bug in DVDA3 just now, but now I'm not sure.

Create a new project, apply the Animated theme, and insert a menu page. Select the Next button (or if you're on page 2, select the Back button), go to its button properties, and change the frame style from Still to Animated. Now move your cursor to another property. Does the frame style stay as Animated or does it switch back to Still?

'Cause it switches back to Still for me. Then I started up DVDA2 and tried this, only to find it does the same thing. I'm almost positive that this function worked just fine in DVDA 2, so what the heck's going on here?

To add to the weirdness, if I set a thumbnail image for the button, then the Animated setting sticks (both versions). Am I having a brain cramp, using a haunted PC, or misremembering this option working in DVDA 2.0?

I am able to repro this problem. Thanks for pointing it out. It appears to have been there since DVDA2.

One workaround I found is to change the button's thumbnail media to anything, change the frame from still to animated, and then set the thumbnail media back to none.

Hey, look at me -- I found a bug. Does that mean I get to beta test DVDA4? ;)

Kinda surprised no one (?) noticed this before. Guess the Animated theme isn't particularly popular...
