Trigger animations need two clicks, not one?

I may have found a bug in the animation trigger.

I have a slide which has an animation sequence running, and there are
six seperate animation triggers which cause a rectangle to fade.

Originally, the slide was set to "Advance slide on mouse click" and
everything worked ok. The long animation sequence - started via a
mouse click - worked fine, and I could trigger the six rectangles to
fade when I clicked on them.

However, now I've unchecked "On Mouse Click" and instead decided to
start the long animation sequence with its own seperate trigger. No
matter whether I start this long sequence or not, the six seperate
rectangles just will not fade on a single click, they always need a
double click.

In fact, I can tell that something's definitely not right because you
can even do this:
Click on rectangle 1 (nothing happens)
Click on rectangle 2 (nothing happens)
Click on rectangle 3 (nothing happens)
Click on rectangle 4 (nothing happens)
Click on rectangle 5 (nothing happens)
Click on rectangle 6 (nothing happens)
Click on rectangle 1 (it triggers - i.e. fades)
Click on rectangle 4 (triggers)
Click on rectangle 5 (triggers)
Click on rectangle 3 (triggers)
Click on rectangle 2 (triggers)
Click on rectangle 6 (triggers)

....implying that the triggers are waiting for a count of 2 clicks, not
just 1.

Any ideas what's going on?

Many thanks,

Steve
 
There's a lot of info there but maybe not the crucial things!

What version of PowerPoint is it
Can you explain what's involved in the "long animation"

also

Do you want each shape to fade when it's clicked or ALL to fade when any one
of them is clicked?
