At the moment variable names are not deleted between expressions, which causes leaking. For example, putting this in any expression:

var hello = 5;

The variable "hello" can be found in Object.keys(this) of any expression, despite having no value.

This is because of the way __unprepareContext sets variables to "undefined":

function() {

    Object.keys(globalObj).forEach(function(key) {

        globalObj[key] = undefined;

    });

    Math.random = null;

}

Perhaps this could be fixed by changing the line:

globalObj[key] = undefined;

To:

delete globalObj[key];

it's broken. can't use the menu at all. macOS big sur, latest AE, MacBook Pro 16 2019

AE build 17.1.4, somewhat often pending project, will fail to save and delete the projects saved file. The work around is to save as almost every time. It's happened a few times over the last week, but today I've experienced it 3 times already. I screen recorded everything after I hit cmd-s. I've also attached a screen shot of my computer's specs. Actually, it's not letting me post with the recording attached, so here's a dropbox link:

Clicking doesn't work while Adobe AE is not responding click get registered but only take effect after AE starts responding again.

Latest version of AE, Media Encoder, Mac Catalina, on an iMac Pro base model.

If an AE project has a layer with the Linear Color Key effect applied, the project will fail to load in Adobe Media Encoder. If the effect is removed from the layer, then it loads in Media Encoder as expected.

The same issue occurs if a layer has Video Copilot Optical Flares plugin applied.

There may be other effects causing this issue, but these are the only two I have definitively identified.

When I select my gpu as the render device and start previewing my video I get audio popping on my Go xlr mini. But when it's in cpu mode there's no issues.

I have discovered that in the latest version of After Effects 2020, I get a "data not found error (33:4)" message when trying to open a file where the roto brush was used. I've tested this extensively, and it's definitely the roto brush that is causing the issue. Any file which uses the roto brush effect will not open after being saved. I suspect AE is having trouble finding the roto brush data, but there is no way to fix the problem as the files won't open at all. This has caused a fair amount of lost work.

After can´t find C4D lite after updating the software.

If I update C4D lite to a new version (as it asks to on the first time it runs) After effects can't find C4D server, and an error message saying "Cineware AliveThread - Execute failed "
The only way to make it work again is to uninstall Both AE and C4D lite and use an outdated C4D lite version.

I usually render image sequences from C4D, load the first few frames and then have AE reload/refresh the new frames as they are rendered.

For some reason this is not possible with EXRs (PNG sequences are working fine) I have to manually replace the footage with the same sequence or it won't load the new frames.

I tried this with versions 17.1.2 - 17.1.3 - 17.1.4 - 17.5 and 17.5.1

I also tried deleting the preferences and trying that again but no luck.

I did notice this behavior when loading multiple sequences at once made it worse

Please fix the 2D align bug. It's been there too long.

VERY easy to reproduce.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mF_U4a9Rg8&t=9s

This video shows the quickest way to reproduce the bug, (with 2 align clicks). But when you have a complex enough scene, even a single align click is broken too.

I am on the current version of After Effects and Mac OS. I use a Wacom graphics tablet instead of a mouse to work as I find it so much quicker and precise.

After Effects now decides to cause the tablet to stop functioning properly, and the only way to solve it is through restarting the machine. Closing AE or restarting my Wacom driver does absolutely nothing.

Please fix this!

While Analyzing a long clip, a Dynamic Link message pops up, and stops analyzing.

Once or twice a day After Effects crashes when I scrub in the timeline.
There is no specific event when this happens. It might be when Autosave tries to save while I'm in the progress of scrubbing.

I have a character rig setup with Master Properties. The hands use a drop-down-menu control to switch between hand poses. If I try to add a new pose to the drop-down-menu, After Effects goes unresponsive for a few seconds, and then all of the keyframes are gone from all of the channels on that layer.
