Slide/project won't pause on return to slide

Question

I'm using Captivate 5 and have the following workflow set up:
I have a slide that explains a concept. The slide features a button I created with the button widget. The name of this button is Show Me. When the user clicks it, they are taken to a slide that plays an animation as a demonstration for the concept on the previous slide. When this slide displays, the slide/project seems to pause to let the animation play through (and the animation is set to loop, so it will keep playing as long as the user is on the slide). On the animation slide there is another button, also created with the button widget, that is named Go Back and takes them back to the slide they came from.
The problem is after I click Go Back, if I click the Show Me button again, I will return to the animation slide, but the project/slide does not pause this time. The animation plays for a number of seconds and then the project advances to the next slide without any interaction from the user.
I've tried adding pause widgets, and click boxes, to force a pause in the project, but nothing seems to work. When the user revisits the animation slide, it quickly goes to the next slide regardless.

Hello
I'm a bit puzzled, because I have been using several examples of the buttons widget in this blog post, and do not understand the issue.
Using the button widget - some ideas
It is a static widget but has only navigation capabilities. And you tried to hide/show the animation as actions on leaving, entering the slide?
