range in transition_time seems to fail

[bart1]

I try to animate movement trajectories using gganimate, to zoom in to a relevant (time) section I want to use the time range. However this seems to fail. Here is a small example on synthetic data. In this case I would expect the point to move between x coordinates 2 and 3 and not 1 and 2. Am I not using range correctly or is this a bug?

require(ggplot2)
#> Loading required package: ggplot2
require(gganimate)
#> Loading required package: gganimate
d<-data.frame(x=1:3,y=1:6*.3, t=as.double(7:9), id=gl(2,3))
p<-ggplot(d)+geom_point(aes(color=id, x=x,y=y)) +
  transition_time(t, range=c(8,9))+labs(title="{frame_time}")
animate(p, nframes=7, fps=2)

Trying old versions of the package the problem seems to be introduced in 1.0.8
