One altrnative that might help, depending on your situation, is to duplicate the effect control, delete the original, and rename the new one to the old name.

Hi, it's 2 years too late, but it can help other people.

You can try to execute the command twice. The first finish to expand the properties, and the second collapse it. I had the same problem and it worked for me.

app.executeCommand(2771);
app.executeCommand(2771);
