The scroll animation in Webflow may jump to a random percentage and get stuck when using Lottie animations or simple div block animations due to a few possible reasons.

Scroll trigger setting: When setting up scroll animations in Webflow, there is a "Trigger Once" option that ensures the animation only runs once when the specified trigger point is reached during scrolling. If this option is not selected, the animation may jump to a random percentage and get stuck every time the trigger point is reached.
Conflict with other interactions: If there are other interactions or animations on the same page that interact with the scroll trigger, it can cause conflicts and result in unexpected behavior. Check whether there are any conflicting interactions that may interfere with the scroll animation and make the necessary adjustments.
Animation speed and scroll distance: Sometimes, the duration of the animation or the distance of the scroll trigger may not be properly calibrated, leading to unexpected behavior. Adjusting the animation speed and scroll distance can help resolve the issue.

To troubleshoot and resolve the issue with the scroll animation jumping to a random percentage and getting stuck, you can try the following steps:

1. Check trigger settings:

Make sure the "Trigger Once" option is selected for the scroll animation.
In the Webflow Designer, select the trigger element and go to the "Scroll" tab in the interactions panel.
Ensure the "Trigger Once" option is enabled, so the animation only plays once.

2. Check for conflicts:

Look for any conflicting interactions or animations on the same page.
Double-check the settings of other interactions that may be impacting the scroll animation.
Adjust or remove conflicting interactions to avoid conflicts.

3. Adjust animation speed and scroll distance:

Change the duration or speed of the animation to ensure it matches the desired scroll distance.
If the animation is too fast or slow for the scroll distance, it can result in unexpected behavior.
Experiment with different values to find the right balance.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue of the scroll animation jumping to a random percentage and getting stuck when using Lottie animations or simple div block animations in Webflow.
