Changing an object's plane while it was animating did not show the plane change. A few other appearance vars were affected as well.

This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
Filter animate no longer respects plane changes
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Change plane of object while it's animating a filter
plane does not actually change where it did in previous versions

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
atom
icon = 'stuff.dmi'

mob
icon_state = "blue_mob"
step_size = 8
plane = 5

verb
put_the_animated_thing_at_a_higher_plane()
set name = "change plane on the animated object from 5 to 20"
set category = "debug"
if(plane != initial(plane))
plane = initial(plane)
else
plane = 20
animate_the_thing()
set name = "make the obj animate"
set category = "debug"
filters += filter(type="rays", size=400, color="#ac323299", factor= 6, density= 20)
animate(filters[1], offset = 10, time = 100, loop = -1)
animate(offset = 10, time = 100)

turf
plane = 10
icon_state = "red_turf"


Using this snippet you can just see the layer change as the blue object goes above/below the red objects, upon animating and changing the plane it will no longer exhibit this behavior unless you downgrade to 515.1603 or lower
Expected Results:
Plane changes

Actual Results:
Plane does not change

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Appears to be every time from my test cases
In other games? Does not seem to be game specific
In other user accounts? Yes
On other computers? Yes

When does the problem NOT occur?
515.1603 and lower

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
515.1603 and lower

Workarounds:
None AFAIK

I need a test case for this. Also all bugs posted in Beta Bugs need the full version number, not just the major version. Please edit your report and post a test case.
