Snapping
Man, I’m having some strange issues with trying to drag my keyframes. They keep wanting to “snap” to different points in my timeline when I drag them. I’ve never had this problem before. What gives?…Aaron

Shift key stuck down?

I thought it was the Caps Lock key….but no shift key isn’t stuck. Thanks A

a co-worker of mine has experienced a stange issue with the shift key getting stuck in windows, where it would get locked after typing with the shift key down for long periods of time (don’t ask me why she doesn’t use the caps lock). it would then effect other software, like photoshop, etc. and the only way we’ve found to unstick it was to reboot.

There is a Windows feature called Sticky Keys that can get in the way sometimes. If the feature is enabled and you press a modifier key 5 times rapidly Windows will ‘hold’ the key down for you… It’s supposed to tell you before it enables this feature the first time, but it may not always work that way.

Caps Lock disables rendering/updates to the composition window. The shift key causes keyframes and layers to snap to one another when dragging them. I’d be surprised if your Shift key being stuck (or sticky keys) were the issue as this would result in other obvious problems as well (multiple layers becoming selected accidentally, key commands being wrong).
I looked through the preferences briefly and couldn’t find what might be causing this… I think a reboot is in order =/

darby, how do you make sticky keys unstick (and never stick again)…
it would probably be a better solution than cutting my co-workers pinky fingers off, which i’ve suggested.

Thanks….after much grumbling I tried the old standard of re-booting and sure enough it worked, snapping issues GONE! I’m not sure how these things happen right before a deadline…but it knows…it always knows! Thanks again….Aaron
