System Information
Operating system: Win 10
Graphics card: Quadro

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.80, edbf15d3c0, master, 2018-11-28, as found on the splash screen)
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

Set up a smoke domain.

Create emitter/flow.

Animate.

Keys vanish if it does animate (sometimes - not sure why but seems to be a thing in Blender generally), but if re-animated, keys appear, but animation refuses to work. Reproduction of keys, changing key values, deletion and creation of new keys - nothing works.

Cannot reproduce in a simple file [can animate, keys stay there, can change key values etc., all working fine]
#68691.blend

which exact blender version are you using? [in 2.8, if you do File > Report a Bug, this is automatically filled out]
Does above file work for you?
Do you have the same problems with Factory Settings (File > Defaults > Factory Settings)?
if above file works for you (but yours is still bugged), please attach that file here...

Hi Philipp,

The above file works fine.

I have reproduced the issue. The attached file has two anim keys. Key 1 does nothing. I have tried to emit from a vertex group, but after assigning that group, the anim key for the object doesn't work.

Oh dear. Keyframes do work after all.

Yesterday graph editor wouldn't show keyframes, keyframe locked, object refused to animate. Today it's fine.

Sorry to have troubled you. I'll report if it happens again.

Thank you for all your hard work.
