Bug: Path Group Mistaken for Mask Crash

Report · Sep 28, 2022

(MacOS - AE version 22.0) When selecting multiple path groups (not the properties) and attempting to hit the shortcut to arrange a layer forward or backward, the program will crash.

I only came across it accidentally when I thought I had the layer selected and not the path groups.

I've also attached an error message that pops up when only one of the groups is selected.

It seems that what's causing it is when path groups are selected, it's confusing them for masks, as seen in the menu command for arranging layers.

This doesn't seem to happen on Windows from what I've seen.
