(Sorry, requires video actually, and I cannot record it)

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
When chest appears, I expect:

1. Enemy disappears.
2. Chest appears and starts pulsing.

I get consistently:

1. Enemy disappears
2. Chest appears
3. Chest disappears
4. Chest appears and start pulsing.

If there were the trap, it’s even worse, as at step 3 it’s “Chest Disappears, Spikes appears and disappears again”.

Nothing too bad, but scratches me the wrong way.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
Always since this week.

**Steps to make it happen again**

Defeat any of the new locations.

I’ve noticed it too – thankfully it is only a visual error (and resolves automatically each time).

(I also can record video if anyone needs it.)

The game tries to immediately swap out the Trap Room icon for a Treasure Chest icon, then instead animates a fade from the Trap Room icon to the Treasure Chest icon.

This belongs under the category of “there’s no way this _couldn’t_ have been noticed during internal testing”.
