Widget animation bug: starts from end

When setting up a widget animation using keys, I set an image to move from the default position to the end position along 1 second. The issue is that at the beginning of the game the image is at the end position. The animation should start when the game finishes. When it does, it just pops back to the beginning and does the animation. The problem is that at the start - and during - of the game the image is at the finish position.

UE 4.12, downloaded a week ago.
In a freshly opened project I tried it just now, quite strangely no issues.
I had an image with an anchor in the middle, it had modified translate values (so not 0.0).
I set a keyframe at 0 frame where it stood originally, moved it over and set another keyframe. then I moved back, it followed just fine. I compiled and saved, all was fine. Then I run the game and it’s at the end pos, until I completed the game, then it popped back to start and did the animation.
I got around the problem by setting up its transform at the event begin play. so it is not an issue anymore. Still don’t know what caused it though but a clean project did good. I suppose that’s not a bug after all.
