It's hard to tell, but 'animated layer effects' has nothing to do with it.
Check what the masking mode is on the folder (hide all/reveal all) - essentially each sub folder is it's own masking group, but the groups are in another group and the groups themselves are being masked... does it look right when rendered? if so this is a long standing bug with masking preview on the canvas... set the parent groups to 'do not mask this layer' just to be sure they aren't being masked or unmasked by something else below where you've shown.
I presume the fact the layer is hidden in your sceenshot is inconsequential?

So do I have to check this? I assuming I do not.( I am reading the manual.)
does it look right when rendered?
No it does not look right when rendered.
I will keep working on fixing it. Grouping in the darkness of ignorance.
