Screensaver Skips a Game During Transitions

Summary:

In LaunchBox 13.24, the screensaver briefly shows an additional game during transitions. It consistently skips one game before moving on to the next, causing a 1-second flash of an unrelated game before the intended one appears.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Enable the Screensaver (tested with Ambiance and Gallery themes).

  2. Set Min / Max Time Between Games to 30 seconds (other values tested, no effect).

  3. Let the screensaver run.

  4. When transitioning between games, note the 1-second jump to an unintended game before the next one displays.

Observed Behavior:

  • Screensaver always flashes a different game for ~1 second during each transition.

  • Issue occurs on multiple builds (main install and test install of 13.24).

  • Reproducible across multiple themes.

Expected Behavior:

Screensaver should transition smoothly from one game to the next without flashing an unrelated game.
