Basic entrance effects problem - please advise

Question

I have recently started using Captivate (9) having been developing with Storyline for a couple of years.

Please take a look at this published slide:

I am having problems getting the entrance effect to run smoothly.

Basically the tab button uses an advanced action to show, apply ease in from left effect, then disable button.

The problem is the element sliding in flickers on before it arrives, why?

Tested in Chrome and Edge on Windows 10.

The project file can be downloaded here:

Please could someone give some advice on this?

All I would like is to create a smooth sliding effect when each tab is clicked on. This is so easy in Storyline.

Hopefully I am missing a simple solution.

Effects are applied AFTER the object gets added to the timeline. So you often need to start the object off stage so that you don't see the initial glitch where the object appears for a split second without the effect. Another option is to add a short Fade In transition to the object so that it is faded out at the initial moment it appears on the timeline.

These are not solutions I realize, but that's the best that we can currently do with the way Captivate works.
