Unable To Move Keyframes

Hello, I was using AE earlier today and then all of a sudden my keyframes stopped moving. My layers were not locked, and the only way I could fix it is by deleting a keyframe and then redoing it. The only way I could select a keyframe was by dragging not clicking. But the keyframes are just stuck they won't move. I would select a keyframe, and it won't move. I use AE 2022.

SOLVED... for me anyway: It was a framerate issue. The layer with stuck keyframes, which was a precomp, had a different framerate from the main comp. In my case the main comp's framerate was wrong. After I changed it to match the layer's framerate, I could select and move keyframes again.

    hello,

    same problem am also facing ,
    i can select by dragging and i can only move keyframes by alt/opt+arrow keys
    few keyframes are moveable and few are stucked .
    when i move the keyframes by opt+key sometimes it behaves like normal .
    but again sometime it stucks .
    am using mac studio 2022 (m1 max)

    Start by flushing your caches and also check whether you haven't accidentally enabled time-remapping/ time-stretching on these layers. Also of course the usual: Reboot your system, check your graphics driver and input device, check your hardware acceleration settings.
