Seems ok but duration does not work

Does anybody knows why Duration does not work? I set 2 seconds or 3 seconds duration of animation and it does not apply. It always fade with the same quick time

It worked and then it stopped

Since version 1.2.3, the animations stopped working.I reverted back to version 1.2.2 and they work.I had to disable updates.
