Space bar keeps replaying

[TKX_0104]

every time the second time I play the timeline with space or prview with shortcut it the timeline plays again.
the right thing would be to stop the play the second time.

I don't know why and maybe it's an after effect 2023 bug.
the third time it stops but it pisses me off every time I'm working. I need to click twice to stop.

someone help me to solve

Hi TKX_0104,

Sorry for your issue.

What's the exact version of After Effects you're using? Are you on macOS or Windows? Does it happen in a new project as well?

To start, try resetting the preferences of After Effects. Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after...

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu
