Sequencer frame range progression is not continuous

Sequencer frame range progression is not continuous

Description

The end of the level visibility section places a DeterminismFence. This causes the issue.
The fence clips the frame range and produces a discontinuous frame ranges,
e.g. 23201~24000, then 24001~24800.

Following work around can fix the issue.

 

void DissectRange(TArrayView<const FFrameTime> InDissectionTimes, const TRange<FFrameTime>& Bounds, TArray<TRange<FFrameTime>>& OutDissections)
{
...
	TRange<FFrameTime> TailRange(LowerBound, Bounds.GetUpperBound());
//	if (!TailRange.IsEmpty() && !TailRange.IsDegenerate())
	if (!TailRange.IsEmpty() )  // workaround
	{
		OutDissections.Add(TailRange);
	}
}

 

 

 

Steps to Reproduce

 

  1. (Optional) Apply the following code to the engine to make it easier to track progress 
    void FSequenceUpdater_Flat::Update(UMovieSceneEntitySystemLinker* Linker, FInstanceHandle InstanceHandle, IMovieScenePlayer* InPlayer, const FMovieSceneContext& Context)
...

	FFrameNumber ImportTime = ImportTimeFromContext(Context);
		
	const bool bOutsideCachedRange = !CachedEntityRange.Contains(ImportTime);
	// Log ImportTime and FrameRange
	UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("FSequenceUpdater_Flat::Update ImportTime:%7d bOutsideCachedRange:%d Bounds:%7d~%7d"), ImportTime.Value, bOutsideCachedRange?1:0, Range.GetLowerBoundValue().Value, Range.GetUpperBoundValue().Value);
	if (bOutsideCachedRange)
  2. Open attached project [Link Removed] on 4.27
  3. After the editor launched , Open "/Game/AttachDelay" levelsequnce
  4. Press Play button on the sequencer window

 

Result 

 An event that should be executed at frame 30 is not triggered and AttachSection, which should also be executed at frame 30, is delayed by 1 tick.

See attached screen shots.
