Variable will not change on slide Exit

Using Cp 9. I have a user variable which I either want to increment or assign a value On Exit of a slide, but it simply doesn't do it. It does it On Enter though, no problem..

This happens using either Actions or Advanced Actions. Is this done by design?

Thank you.

Too little information to help you, or do give you a more detailed answer. I can tell already that I avoid the On Exit event whenever possible. Look at my comment in:

Thanks for your reply. I have a variable v_temp1 that I need to increment by one when exiting a slide, so I created an Advanced Action to do that and placed it on the slide's On Exit, but the variable does not increment. If I place the exact same Advanced Action on the next slide's On Enter, it works fine. The variable increments. The same happens in Cp8 and Cp9. I'm just wondering if this behavior was implemented by design or is a bug? But I think you are right, I should avoid using On Exit. Thanks.

I find the same thing.  Nasty bug.
