Hi guys:

1. useTransitions: false in GoToState/GoToElementState seems to be broken—please verify. I was able to reproduce this issue consistently but it's hard to provide a test sample right now.

2. another problem is that when the initial data binding applies the VSM is using the transition to the bound state name. In 2.2 and before it transferred to the initial state without the transition.

<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

<VisualStateGroup x:Name="VisibilityStates">

<VisualStateGroup.Transitions>

<VisualTransition To="Collapsed"

GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.25" />

<VisualTransition To="Visible"

GeneratedDuration="0:0:0.25" />

</VisualStateGroup.Transitions>

            <VisualState x:Name="Visible" />
            <VisualState x:Name="Collapsed">
                <Storyboard>
                    <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
                                     To="0" />
                </Storyboard>
            </VisualState>
        </VisualStateGroup>
    </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>

    <i:Interaction.Triggers>
        <ei:DataTrigger Binding="{Binding VisualStateName}" Value="Visible">
            <ei:GoToStateAction StateName="Visible" />
        </ei:DataTrigger>
        <ei:DataTrigger Binding="{Binding VisualStateName}" Value="Collapsed">
            <ei:GoToStateAction StateName="Collapsed" />
        </ei:DataTrigger>
    </i:Interaction.Triggers>

Regards!
