Dragger handle's position changes AFTER recording. The recorded position differs from my input.

Question

I'm trying to record 2-frame takes of different arm positions. I arm the puppet, Limb IK, and Triggers before dragging the arm to the desired position and pressing Ctrl+2 for recording. However, when I scrub back to review the newly created take, I find that the position has shifted significantly in the Y direction (always downwards. What am I missing?

Hello Dave. This is actually in the latest Beta. I'm having other problems with the Beta and I think I've just found a bug (unrelated to this post) so, I will create a new post for the bug report and DM you the puppet file. Hopefully you can take a look at both issues.

I think I have figure who's the culprit of this issue. I not only tagged the wrists handles as draggable, but I also tagged them as transform and added a transform behavior. When I removed the draggable tag the problem disappeared.

I've noticed that the problem only occurs if I also drag the hand. The hand is independent from the arm and it has a handle tagged as dragger. If I only drag the handle on the arm (positioned at the wrist) and record a take, then the take will capture the position I moved the handle to. However, if in addition to moving the handle on the arm I also move the one in the hand, then the recorded take will not capture the positioned I moved all handles to. Instead, it will show me a position shifted downward.
