1 month ago I made some improvements to animation runner to better follow step values for given fps.
and also took a look at the mentioned issue. You are right, but to fixit a different issue happens. So I decided to write in console what happened
Animation stopped between generating frame for t=7 and rendering it. Discarding the result.
If I allow it to render anyway, for very slow animation like 1 fps, you would press stop animation at step 7 but it would stop at step=8.
The issue is that I request render of a frame right away, and then wait for rendering it to match chosen fps. for very fast scripts and 1 fps result is returned in few ms, and then anim waits 999 ms to render the frame.
To me it is worse if animation does not stop when I click it to stop, than a bit of confusion seing script is called for a t=# but that last result is not on the screen.
When animation is halted, changing fps updates slider immediately to next position, but the number in Animation text field does not get updated immediately. Starting with fps=2 at slider position 0.5, going to fps=3 moves slider to 0.666, but keeps 0.5 in Animation. Going to fps=4 moves slider to 0.75 and updates Animation to 0.666, the value before. So Animation display is always 1 fps update behind.
