What does this error mean ?

What does this error mean ? It suddenly appeared in my console.

AnimationModeSnapshot.AddPropertyModification may only be called in animation mode.
UnityEditor.AnimationMode:AddPropertyModification(EditorCurveBinding, PropertyModification, Boolean)
UnityEditorInternal.AnimationRecording : Process(AnimationWindowState, UndoPropertyModification) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Animation/AnimationWindow/AnimationRecording.cs:64)
UnityEditorInternal.AnimationWindowState : PostprocessAnimationRecordingModifications(UndoPropertyModification) (at /Users/builduser/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Animation/AnimationWindow/AnimationWindowState.cs:1199)
UnityEditor.Undo:InvokePostprocessModifications(UndoPropertyModification)

unity seems to be stuck in recording the animation, even though i pressed the button to stop the animation recording.

my workaround for this issue currently is to start and stop the game, so unity will not record it anymore.
