Short description of error
When running a quicksmoke animation in the Layout window nothing happens

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Start blender, add quicksmoke to cube, press space to start simulation

I have been able to reproduce this on two systems including a laptop that uses CPU rendering, it does not seem to be a hardware or driver issue. I compared the exact same steps in 2.81a and 2.82a, see attached gifs. Both clean installations

That's a bit old. Try a newer version. Just tested 24 April 2.83 Linux - works.

If that does not work, it helps to attach a .blend.

It may be a bit old for developers but is the current latest "production" version available on the blender site for "regular" users on Windows. I was just trying to follow allong a beginner tutorial on youtube (https://youtu.be/TPrnSACiTJ4?t=790) and this simple thing failed which can be discouraging to new users. But I guess that's the risk of not following the official training resources. I will look into the baking as a solution
Apparently this is a duplicate (I did search through all the bugs before posting but didn't see it). blend attached for completeness Quicksmoke.blend

Stephen and Ankit, thank you both for your follow up.
