1.4.4 on 2019LTS record button doesn't work

AcidArrow · November 11, 2020, 3:17am

I’m using 1.4.4 on 2019LTS. Did I mess up by upgrading? I was under the impression that 1.4.x version were fine for LTS. Not verfied fine, but they should work. It seems that it doesn’t work at all. Is rolling back safe?

I’m on a mac and it seems I’m getting exactly this issue: Unity Issue Tracker - [Timeline] NullReferenceException is thrown when clicking on the record button of an Animation Track (although this one says Windows only).

The TLDR is pressing record on an animation track causes instant NullReferenceException and I can’t do much.

Actually, I just rolled back to the verified package and pressing record still results to a NullReferenceException. On LTS. With a verified package.

This is a known issue in 2019.4. The problem is an issue with the layout files. Refresh the layout files to correct it.

The issue is fixed in 2020.1 and above, and a fix for 2019.4 LTS is incoming.
