Element blink before animation

[bouteillerAlan]

Hello, I should have miss something because I can't find were my problem is created, so I ask here for help.

I got this animation that is part of a timeline:

.add(navLogoChars, {
      y: ['100%', '0%'],
      duration: 1400,
      ease: 'inOutQuint',
      delay: stagger(50),
      loop: true,
    })

that render like that:

I don't understand why it starts like that, and if I want to set some other text animation it always starts with a blink, like it does opacity 1 - 0 - 1.

Edit:

If I delete delay: stagger(50), the animation doesn't blink 🤔 but I lost the per letter animation of course
