check the position of the new "eyes" group layer?

have you bound any layers to bones?

are these layers from a .psd or individual image files?

it also looks as though the original eyes layer has a "group" property -- there's an inverted triangle showing in your first screen grab?? and then again in eyeballs in the second grab???

they are all individual images.
i don't think that inverted triangle has anything to do with group property, it opens this menu: Image

ok…

my best guesses are: (new) eyes group position; bone binding conflicts
could you upload the .moho (without the images)?

That's just the Quick Settings column showing for the primary selected layer. Confused me too at first. I always use the context menu for that.

yeah - I never use the Quick Settings column either -- (stifles the sigh about the layer window layout...)

Yeah, I always keep that column hidden. IMO, I'd rather give the extra space to the layer name, and the QS panel is just a right-click away anyway.

Still hoping Copy/Paste Layers gets added to the contextual menu. (Ok, my turn to sigh about Layers Window.) :)

I also have no problems working with that file. However I do notice that you've moved camera (track and zoom) and the pinkman group (scale, position, rotation) on frame 0

Take a look at your Preferences / Layers/objects and if "Auto Center New Layers" is checked this might explain your problems with the first file.

Also in Preferences / Tools - is "Enable drawing tools only on frame 0" checked? Are you trying to add points when not on frame 0???
