Grabbing a biomolecule during the gene switch animation will place it in the wrong gene #112

Closed phet-steele closed 6 years ago

In quick succession, press "Next/Previous Gene" then grab a biomolecule from the toolbox. Doing this correctly requires that you grab the object before the animation has made any significant progress. The biomolecule will have been initialized on the gene you were traveling to, not on its "home" gene.

This traps biomolecules on the wrong gene ie. if you do this with a PTF, the gene it belonged to will not be able to transcribe since it will no longer have a PTF to use.

(a bit hard to see here, but just after I press the Next Gene button, I then press on the PTF for Gene 1, then I do it again with a ribosome) gee05

Seen on iPad Air 2 iOS 10.3.3. For phetsims/QA/issues/68.

I fixed this by making the biomolecule tool boxes non-interactive (i.e. setting pickable to false) when animations are in progress. I'll have it verified on the next RC.

Can no longer reproduce.
