Description of Capx

Click, it would do saving, then go to next layout, then do loading

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• (layout1) Print "Start L1" from OnStartOfLayout trigger
• (layout1) Click ( touch) to do saving
• (layout1) saving complete, got to layout 2
• (layout2) Print "Start L2" from OnStartOfLayout trigger, then do loading
• (layout1) Print "Start L1" from OnStartOfLayout trigger

Observed Result

OnStartOfLayout is triggered while loading. (Print "Start L1")

In the source code, OnStartOfLayou event will be fired while layout start, include official loading.

Expected Result

OnStartOfLayout (Print "Start L1") should not be fired while loading, imo.

I can reproduce, but it doesn't appear to be a regression so I won't do anything before the next stable release which is due soon.

However I'm not sure it's really a problem in practice: it fires 'On start of layout' to switch to the correct layout just before actually loading the savegame state, so anything the 'On start of layout' event does should be reverted by the subsequent loading. Is this a problem for a real-world project of yours?

You are right, status will be reverted by the subsequent loading, except non-saved status.

For example, to count the playing time of this level:

Designer might increase playing counter which saved in localstorage/post to server while starting this level by "On start of layout".

When player continues the game by loading status, the playing counter will be increased again. It might be a problem, imo.

( Or private variables changing in sprite with no-save behavior... etc. )

Changed for the next build.
