PPT presentation problem with animations

Problem :

Since my last update, when I add a video to my slide to play automatically and add an animated object (icon, image, shapes) I cannot change slide in presentation mode (it gets stuck) if I do not wait for the video animation to end BEFORE animating the object. This worked in previous version of PPT. The only thing that I can do in this situation is go back to the previous slide.

I see a similar problem when I set a long animation and click to fast before it ends. The animation does not end and resets.

Reproducible steps (Video) :

  1. Create a new power point presentation
  2. Add a video and set it to automatically start
  3. Add an image
  4. Add an animation to the image
  5. Play the slide show
    1. Wait for the video to end, click for the image to appear, slide change
    2. Do not wait for the video to end, click for the image to appear, slide does not change

Reproducible steps (Long animation) :

  1. Create a new power point presentation
  2. Add an image
  3. Add an animation to the image and make it long (e.g. 2 seconds)
  4. Play the slide show
    1. Click and wait for the image to appear, Click again, slide change.
    2. Click and do not wait for the image to appear, Click again, Image disappears. Click again, animation restarts.

Software versions :

PPT : 16.58.22012401

AutoUpdate : 4.43.22011101

MacOS Monterey : 12.1

    Be sure to use the Help menu in PowerPoint and choose the Feedback option to report this to Microsoft. Otherwise they won't know about the issue.
