I found a reproducible crash in AFX CC 2022 - (no crash with CC 2021 and older.)

This happens with JavaScript expression engine - no crash with legacy ExtendScript engine.

I have a null layer with a shape layer parented to it.
The null layer has an expression in the Position property.
The expression looks at the position of the layer that is "index - 2" above it. (There are two null layers above, so the expression works.)

When I duplicate the null and shape layer together, then drag then to the bottom of the stack, all is normal.

If I repeat the process of duplicating the two layers and dragging them to the bottom of the stack, AFX will eventually crash after 60-100 layers are duplicated.

Tested on two different workstations with CC 2022, and crashes every time (the exact amount of layer duplicates before the crash can vary, but crashes usually before 100 layers.)

Does not crash when using Legacy ExtendScript expression engine, or with either engine in CC 2021 and older.

Thanks.

For After Effects and Premiere Pro users, we provide a graphic and animation pack, which is used by more than 3000 customers.

After your last updates, our customers began reporting that they were receiving the unstoppable zero denominator error message when trying to use our library. We have tried to find the source of the problem, but it continues to appear randomly with no logical explanation. As I can see some other users have reported this bug related to Time Remap.

Here is a sample project file that gives the error.

This bug makes our product unusable to users and as a consequence will make our company suffer a substantial financial loss. There is nothing we can do on our side in order to fix the bug. So we request that the bug be fixed as soon as possible.

I believe I just found a current problem related to the "Invalid Menu Operation" warning that has been discussed on this forum several times before.

I'm working on a project that has a lot of compositions.

If a composition is used more than 1168 times and I try to right-click it in the Project panel, I get an "After Effects Warning: Invalid Menu Operation" popup.

I tested it in CC 2020 and CC 2022 - same bug.

I had four different pre-comps used over 1168 times in other compositions. As a test, I just kept deleting the comps that used the pre-comps, and as soon as I deleted enough comps that the pre-comp was used 1168 times or less, the bug went away - no more pop-up and I could right-click the comp and use the menu. This happened for all four of the pre-comps that were used over 1168 times.

I searched, and haven't seen anyone else report this specific problem / cause / solution.

Menu bar and all right click dropdowns are not working in AE 2022. You click an item in the menu bar and nothing appears, you click again and it shows up for a moment but disappears when you move your mouse over to click on a drop down item.

When you click for the first time, you can click on drop down items by guessing the approximate location of where they are but they are invisible so it's a guessing game.

This makes AE completely unusable. Fixes when you delete your preferences file but it is not feasible to delete all my workspace preferences every time this bug comes up, and it always comes back.

This video from another user with the same issue shows the problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6kHnkX-3BQ&feature=youtu.be

(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.
