Nutty Nutcracker Jaw

Hello:

 

My character (in profile only) has a nutcracker jaw. Has it always been the case or is it a bug that I cannot insert fixed pins to one side of the jaw (art or group) to keep certain parts of the jaw from moving?

Because if I untag the jaw, add a new handle to the group and tag it as the jaw, the fixed pins then work perfectly...

It's been this way all the time.

Translation/rotation/scaling on origin handles as in the first image will forcibly influence everything under it, thus ending up moving the "Fixed" handles as well in this case.

Your workaround to place a normal handle near the origin and tag it "Jaw" is the correct and recommended way to achieve your expected result. I usually recommend people stay away from tagging origin handles and make normal handles all the time to avoid this confusion.
