I tried to do some digging around on the internet, I found a couple of reddit threads – this one in particular – They had the same issue, but weren’t able to determine what causes it. You’re all right though, it is, albeit a pain in the backside, easy enough to work around.
While I’m at it, and bare with me here, is it possible to enable something along the lines of ‘auto-frame selected’ in the UV editor? It’s very easy to just move my cursor across to it and hit the frame seleted hotkey (I could probably even asign it to a button on my mouse). However I’d love it if I can shave off more time (by not needing to take my hand off the mouse/away from the tablet/even moving my dang eyes across to my other screen) and speed up my flow by having the UV Editor automatically pan/zoom across to frame selected – so I can see if there are any spikes/bad pixels etc. I’m probably being pedantic at this point, but I hope you catch my drift!
Thanks immensely for the support. I’ve been working solidly on this, and can’t wait to have it finished and post my final results!
