I have recently been making a few animations with Mathematica and found that they all cycle forever, which in my case is completely undesirable. I have tried to change this by setting AnimationCycleRepeat to 1 in the Options Inspector. But to my great frustration I found myself unable to change any of the Animation settings (AnimationDisplayTime, AnimationCycleOffset, AnimationCycleRepeat) at all. I can change them neither for a particular cell, nor for a notebook nor globally. I can type a different value, for example 1 for AnimationCycleRepeat but it will immediately switch itself to the default setting "Infinity" the moment I click on anything else in the Options Inspector window. This happens with Mathematica 4.1 for MacOS. It seems to me that this is either a serious bug or a very poorly documented "feature". Or perhaps I am missing something obvious?
