Description

Animating a view's position to a negative dimension doesn't work. The view is re-positioned, but with no animation as the following code demonstrates:

var hidden = false;

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow();
var view = Ti.UI.createView({top:0,height:200});
var button = Ti.UI.createButton({bottom:0,title:'Toggle'});

button.addEventListener('click', function () {
  myView.animate(Ti.UI.createAnimation({
    duration: 2000,
    delay: 0,
    top: hidden ? 0 : -200
  }));
  hidden = !hidden;
});

win.add(view);
win.add(button);
win.open();

After further testing it seems like it does work, but only if there are not auto-sizes involved.

Which platform? Which platform OS version? So are you saying the test case you provided in the description works? Can you provide a non-working example?

Sorry for this waisting your time on this issue. Even I can't reproduce it anymore. I think it was multiple factors involved that caused the strange behaviour I saw. Close it :)

Ok, no problem. Closing.
