Not sure why there was a crash. I've created another file that demonstrates the problem. Open it and press play. I would expect to see the texture animating in the viewport, however the 3d view does not update. If you stop and then manually adjust the Texture in the properties panel by adjusting any of it's other values, the 3d view will update and display as expected.

This problem also occurs when animating the mapping scale property of the texture.

Sorry, the new attached file cannot open, too.
What is Viewport Shading set in with the file?
A latest buildbot build version has this bug.

In both cases the viewport shading is set to Material. It needs to be in this mode to demonstrate the bug.

Okay, I recreated it as best I can.

Ok can confirm but I think this is a todo though

Thanks - although could the status be changed? I don't think it's incomplete anymore.

Waiting on developers feed back
