    this one is strange. all of a sudden when I click on a position keyframe in a 3D layer it moves exponentially faster than I’m moving the mouse. The keyframe will quickly move out of the window. Even stranger… I cannot undo this. Undo does nothing. Lastly, when I hold down Option and move the keyframe, it works as expected. Any clues?

    You’ve got one of the control keys on your keyboard stuck down.

    yeah, it’s gotta be that since holding down a key turns it off. Nothing is physically stuck, but clearly AE thinks the key is down. Funny, it’s only THIS project where it happens. I open another AE project and it’s fine.

    Thanks!

    Even after a reboot of your computer?

    Yep, first thing I did was reboot. this is a strange one for sure. I’m thinking of trashing the AE prefs or something. It’s bizarre that I cannot undo the keyframe move once I’ve done it.
