Problem with GetEffectsByShape in last version of Aspose Slides

This code line:
IEffect effect = shape.Slide.Timeline.MainSequence.GetEffectsByShape(shape)[0];

effect.Timing.TriggerDelayTime
is always 0

effect.Timing.Duration
is always Nan

With older versions of Aspose working properly.
Suggestions?

Adnan.Ahmad,
do you have news ?

Thanks

@Faffo.

Our product team has investigated the issue on their end. The first shape in Test.pptx presentation has one Entrance effect with TriggerDelayTime = 3sec and NaN Duration. The effect has following two behaviors:

SetEffect with Duration = 0.001sec;
FilterEffect with Duration = 2sec.


 Presentation pres = new Presentation(path + "Test.pptx");
        ISlide slide = pres.Slides[0];

        //Iterating through all shapes inside the slide
        foreach (Shape shape in slide.Shapes)
        {
            if (shape.Slide.Timeline != null && shape.Slide.Timeline.MainSequence != null)
            {
                IEffect[] effects = shape.Slide.Timeline.MainSequence.GetEffectsByShape(shape);
                if (effects.Length > 0)
                {
                    IEffect effect = shape.Slide.Timeline.MainSequence.GetEffectsByShape(shape)[0];
                    if (effect.PresetClassType == EffectPresetClassType.Entrance)
                    {
                        if (!float.IsNaN(effect.Timing.TriggerDelayTime))
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Effect delay: " + effect.Timing.TriggerDelayTime.ToString());
                        }

                        if (!float.IsNaN(effect.Timing.Duration))
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Effect duration: " + effect.Timing.Duration.ToString());
                        }

                        // Added code for reading the effect behaviors
                        IBehaviorCollection behaviors = effect.Behaviors;
                        foreach (IBehavior behavior in behaviors)
                        {
                            Console.WriteLine("Behavior type: " + behavior.GetType());
                            if (!float.IsNaN(behavior.Timing.Duration))
                            {
                                Console.WriteLine("Behavior duration: " + behavior.Timing.Duration.ToString());
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
