[Bf-funboard] Fixed actions length

[Maxim Tkachenko]

Hi Julio,

Thank You for answering!
The problem is that when you have some cycle animation, you do not use the
frame with last keyframe (or it will be played twice (two same keyframes) -
in the end and in the beginning of animation). And Ctrl+Alt+P is great, but
it uses the last keyframe :(
