Description

See the comment in DisposeComplettedAnimations for more details.

Suspending the active expression animations while they are not in use causes subsequent key frame animations which target the providing property set to never fire their completed events. I can't explain this and for now and commenting out the code. Fixing this will prevent memory bloat as the current solutions never stops the expression animations that are built as a part of this animation solution.
