Hi Sergey,

System Information
Ubuntu Linux64, 16Gb Ram, 2* GTX560TI oc 2GB each

Blender Version
Tried 2.70a and hash 5811076, both are buggy

Short description of error
On the Motion Tracking layout I tracked several tracks. Now I want to select individual tracks in the graph editor or the Dope Sheet. When I select one track after another all are getting highlighted in the Motion Clip editor - so it's additive without holding any control or shift key. I would expect that we would only highlight the one that we are clicking

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
14_CameraSolve_End.blend
Open the supplied blend and select different tracks in the graph editor or the dope sheet. All selected items are highlighted - even if you deselect them by clicking again on their curve or name they are not deselected in the Movie Clip editor.

I would propose that we follow the normal Blender behavior here : Selecting via shift should select multiple tracks, without shift should only the current one be highlighted.

Many greetings,
Thomas

Hi Sergey,
unfortunately this is only solving part of the problem. The issue is still present:

Uncheck show_graph_only_selected and then

Select a curve in the Graph Editor, select another one without shift -> Both will be selected.
Select a Track in the dopesheet and another one after that -> Both are being selected
This should only happen when we hold down the shift key. In all other cases the selection should deselect all other previously selected items...

Do you see the issue? If yes, please reopen it - I won't if you consider it to be correct.

Cheers, Thomas

Hi Sergey,
sorry for reporting a second issue but finishing my book stops me from looking into those issues myself (as you may have guessed I'm at the Motion Tracking chapter now ;))

Could you please confirm that scaling masks on the supplied file is acting as if the center of the mask would be way left of the mask? No matter what pivot point I choose, every scale operation will scale the mask to the left. If you confirm that I'll open up another bug report for this if you'd like to ...

Cheers, Thomas

I see inconsistency but not an issue. Here it's more a historical thing, dopesheet was supposed to be used in a one way but then was moved to other things. I've asked Sebastian to re-view behavior here from current pipeline POV and don't want to start changing behavior so close to the RC.

Please don't mix different reports into a single one. If you've got .blend file where mask is not using proper pivot please make a new report and attach that file.

Ok, Sergey I'll talk with Sebastian then and we'll look into it for 2.72.

The mask scale thing is happening in the file that I appended to this report, therefore I asked you to confirm it in this report - but I'll open another bug report then... makes it easier to track the progress..

I didn't see masks in the file you've attached to this report.

When I create a closed mask in this file (by Ctrl-LMB and alt+c on it) the resulting mask has the behaviour I described.

I've been looking into possible issues. Found that masks transform with display aspect (or pixel aspect) != 1:1 would fail. Fixed now. Please give it an intense testing with builds newer than dcf2a07.

Thanks for investigating it Sergey! Will test extensively and report back in IRC...CU there!
