Auto Blink, sometimes double blinks no matter the setting, and puppets eyes closed at start.

So I noticed two problems I have been having with the auto blink behavior if anyone can help me out.

1st, no matter what setting I use for Blinks per Minute, Blink Duration, and Randomness, the puppet will sometimes double blink instead of blinking once. It makes the animation look like there's a mistake. Has anyone else encountered this issue and solved it?

2nd, when I use the Auto Blink behavior, the puppet's eyes will remain closed until it starts talking or moving. So like if I have the puppet just standing there for 5 seconds before it does anything both eyes will remain shut for the 5 seconds until it does something. I know it's the Auto Blink behavior causing this because when I turn it off its eyes will open in the beginning. Is there a solution to this?

Thanks.
