Fri 15 Mar 2013 12:56:47 AM UTC, comment #4: I have an idea about what is probably going on, but it will take me some time (weeks?) to get to this.	J Tyne <jamit>
Tue 12 Mar 2013 11:33:25 PM UTC, comment #3: Using git bisect pointed me to r56169 as the commit introducing the bug. The commit in question is jamit's and it is intended as a bug fix/part of a bug fix for bug #20324, so I am reassigning this bug to him instead. Although the bug reproduces pretty reliably for me since then, perhaps I should take this opportunity to provide a more specific sequence of steps to reproduce: - Start the test scenario in debug mode - Near the center of the map there is an enemy Soulless surrounded by various player-controlled units, including an Elvish Druid. Note her maximum XP (usually 80, 64 when given the intelligent trait). - Use :unit experience=80 (or 64) while the mouse is over the Druid. - Attack the ghost at (18, 12) with the Druid from the southern adjacent hex at (18, 13).

Mon 11 Mar 2013 10:15:45 PM UTC, comment #2: Yes, the bug still exists in trunk. You could take 1.11.1 or 1.10.x and compare. If The flickering (more specifically, the newly advanced unit being visible without the white tint right in the middle of the unit type transition) is pretty noticeable with an animation speed factor of 1.0x (the default) or 1.75x (what I normally use when playing).

Mon 11 Mar 2013 11:47:51 AM UTC, comment #1: This is probably an unwanted side-effect of changes to the animationWML syntax (I am working with boucman on this). Is this bug still happening after the last round of animationWML commits? It looks fine to me (testing on 0.25 speed), but I am not sure exactly what you mean by flicker?	David Mikos <coffee>
Fri 08 Mar 2013 07:17:50 AM UTC, original submission: Units leveling up or acquiring an AMLA visibly flicker for an instant. I am not completely sure what is going on, but it seems like the levelout [1] (first animation during advancement) animation's tint progression became identical to the levelin animation. [1] http://wiki.wesnoth.org/AnimationWML#levelout This bug does not affect 1.11.1. Steps to reproduce: - Start the test scenario. - Attack a unit with your playing side's leader. This should trigger one or two AMLA sequences in succession.	Ignacio R. Morelle <shadowmaster>
