BUG? Can start, but can't stop animations in a Gesture?

Oookay... this is confusing. I tried to create some gestures where I do a looped dance for a few seconds (the dance anim is set to go on over and over ad infinitum), and then STOP it. Problem is, when I go to click on the STOP radio button under "Animation to play:", it does absolutely nothing. And yet, it's not grayed out, leading to more confusion.

Here's my sequence:

Start animation: Yatta!
--- Wait: 3.0 seconds
Start animation: Yatta!

The last line, of course, should read Stop animation: Yatta! and for anyone who's familiar with Yatta, it goes on and on unless stopped manually... which I can't seem to be able to do.

Also, I have a gentle suggestion that the Gesture selection dropdown menu be WIDENED greatly when clicked on, 'cuz it tends to truncate a lot of names. :(

Thanks to Jack Linden for his help in this! :D

Someone posted a work around just in case you arnt aware of it. Basically if you have a gesture that you have rights to that already includes a stop, just make a copy of it and edit it to be your new Gesture.

But yes, LL needs to be reminded to fix that.

just discovered this problem for myself today. That workaround does work, but it's not a fix. If someone does not have a gesture they can edit with stop animation in it, they won't be able to do anything with it.

1.6.5 is still only the preview grid. And, it does work there.
