Link always has original animations

I'm using Zelda Classic 2.53 LTS Release (Final) 2 (Win32) straight off the zeldaclassic.com webzone downloaded a couple weeks ago.

I have set up Zelda 3 animations for Link, and set it to Zelda 3 (Slow Walk) animation style, and I have tried the other styles. This causes the animations to appear correct in the editor. When I actually go into the game, it always uses the original style animations.

There's also another thing. It also always swaps my left-facing sprites to face the other direction, even in the editor, so I have to use the right facing sprites and let it switch them.

If I start a new quest, I don't have any of these problems, but I can't figure out which option I have set that is making this difference, and I've tried clicking basically everything in desperation. So I think this is just a bug.

This quest was originally started before 2.5, and I'm assuming that's related?

I see that you fixed this by starting the quest in 2.53. What was the version that you used prior to this?
