Chasers stops in Shows + Suggestions

Hi everyone.
I'm working with a pretty hard static show and I'm trying to figure out how to program all the stuff to work the best with this work.

I have 140+ lights in a 10x5mt room, some light are in groups so I need to animate them like an rgb panel (I have just regular bulbs and neon).

I have groups of lights, every group is in a scene, every scene has several sequences, each sequence has an animation.
Now: I need to create a show.
I don't want to have thousand of copies of sequences so I'm thinking to use chasers.
Chasers are quite good and I've just figure out that I can use Infinite timings to create a similar clone of the single sequence.
BUT.
When I add a chaser to the show with an offset from the start, when I press play and the line reach the chaser, the show stops. I really can't figure out why. (v.4.10.3a)

This is a picture showing that: https://gyazo.com/f54639a202dab3198a2d03bedec32125

What I do wrong? What should I do to avoid it? What can I use instead of chasers?
Thanks a lot to everyone will answer me :)

Are you sure this workspace file presents an issue ?

In the "TOTALE" show, the duration of the chaser is set to 1sec, and the show stops 1sec after the chaser has started. I don't see any issue.

What can I say... today is working, yesterday was all messed up. Maybe because before setting it I've tried to make an infinite chaser and I had to restart.... maybe... I'll try to make some minute of the show and we'll see... :) Thanks for now.

p.s. any advise about the questions I made in the first post?

Ok there is definitely something that messed up in this file.
Show->Choose the "TOTALE" one->press Play
It will stop at 00:00:01:62. Why?
