UE-151515

Ensure condition failed: bPlayingBackwards ? (CurrentPosition <= PreviousPosition) : (CurrentPosition >= PreviousPosition)

Ensure condition failed: bPlayingBackwards ? (CurrentPosition <= PreviousPosition) : (CurrentPosition >= PreviousPosition)

Description

The problem is caused by the animation sequence playback position being set out of range from Sequencer.

The call stack is :

Steps to Reproduce
  1. open attached project on ue4.27
  2. open LevelSequence'/Game/LS_EnsureTest.LS_EnsureTest' in content browser
  3. enter console command 't.MaxFPS 30' in output window
  4. set loop playback mode in sequencer window
  5. play the sequence in sequencer window

Result:
Ensure condition failed occurs.
Error message:

Ensure condition failed: bPlayingBackwards ? (CurrentPosition <= PreviousPosition) : (CurrentPosition >= PreviousPosition) [File:D:/dev/UnrealEngine-4.27.2/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/Animation/AnimSequenceBase.cpp] [Line: 214] 
in Animation AS_EnsureTest(Skeleton UE4_Mannequin_Skeleton) : bPlayingBackwards(0), PreviousPosition(8.00), Current Position(8.00)
