Show Object on second visit/revisit

TH-bf52b1b3-f6f​: Here's a screenshot of your file, with a few highlights added:

The special text on layer 1 has an Initial state of Hidden. The Slide Layer Properties are set to "Reset to initial state." So that text would be Hidden every time the layer reopens. However, because a "when timeline starts" trigger always reruns, that text will change to Normal when the layer reopens.

The reason you don't see it if you jump to layer 2 and then jump back to layer 1 is that the "Hide other slide layers" option in not selected in either of the Slide Layer Properties. 

That means that layer 1 never closes unless the user clicks the Hide this layer button. So in the "open layer 1, jump to layer 2, jump back to layer 1" situation, layer 1 never closes, which means it never reopens. Thus, the trigger to show the special text when the timeline starts never runs. 

The simple solution: check the "Hide other slide layers" option.

By the way, the solid background on your layers does prevent the user from seeing the base. However, that doesn't prevent the user from tabbing to the buttons on the button. So I suggest you also check "Prevent the user from clicking on the other layers" in the Slide Layer Properties.
