Short description of error
Baking to Current Action doesn't work.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

  • Open attached file,
  • In pose mode select the animated bone (the top one)
  • F3 - Bake Action
  • Check the Ovewrite Current Action option and confirm
    Nothing happens.
    Uncheck that option and try again to see what should be the result.
    Sometimes (very rarely) that option works (depending on the F-Curve).
    can't bake to clip.blend

I don't find "bake clip" in the F3 options, did you mean "Bake Action"?

This is actually working as designed. Baking an action only inserts keys that are necessary. When baking to the current action, if there are no constraints that influence the final animation, there are no additional keys necessary. However, @mont29 and I agreed that this behaviour is confusing, so I'll change so that baking to the current action and to a new action result in the same baked animation (that is, keyed on every frame).
