Animation not always activating

[Jeremy D]

I have the following doughnut chart:

<Page.DataContext>

<Binding Source="{StaticResource EmpSummaryViewModel}"/>

</Page.DataContext>

<Charts:SfChart3D x:Name="HoursChart" Height="200" Width="270" Margin="0,20,0,0">

<Charts:SfChart3D.PrimaryAxis>

<Charts:CategoryAxis3D/>

</Charts:SfChart3D.PrimaryAxis>

<Charts:SfChart3D.SecondaryAxis>

<Charts:NumericalAxis3D/>

</Charts:SfChart3D.SecondaryAxis>

<Charts:SfChart3D.Legend>

<Charts:ChartLegend DockPosition="Top" OffsetX="0" OffsetY="0" Orientation="Horizontal" LegendPosition="Outside" FontSize="12" Padding="5" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>

</Charts:SfChart3D.Legend>

<Charts:DoughnutSeries3D x:Name="doughnutSeries3D" ItemsSource="{Binding WorkHours, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" XBindingPath="Title" YBindingPath="Hours" EnableAnimation="True" EnableSmartLabels="True" LabelPosition="OutsideExtended" Palette="Elite" ConnectorType="Line" HorizontalAlignment="Left" DoughnutCoefficient="0.5" StartAngle="0" EndAngle="180" ListenPropertyChange="True">

<Charts:DoughnutSeries3D.AdornmentsInfo>

<Charts:ChartAdornmentInfo3D AdornmentsPosition="TopAndBottom" ShowLabel="True" UseSeriesPalette="True" ShowConnectorLine="True"

SegmentLabelContent="LabelContentPath" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="White" ConnectorHeight="150" ShowMarker="False"

SegmentLabelFormat="# hrs" Margin="3,2"/>

</Charts:DoughnutSeries3D.AdornmentsInfo>

</Charts:DoughnutSeries3D>

</Charts:SfChart3D>

The problem is that the animation only ever activates when you navigate to the page. The data binding works fine in that changes to the data in the viewmodel do update the chart immediately, and always. But it would be nice if the animation would fire everytime the WorkHours ObservableCollection gets updated/changed. Is there a problem with my implementation of this chart?

i have the same problem, since i updated to the latest version of syncfusion. With the previous version, the animation showed everytime, when i changed the items source.
