hey, i have a very frustrating problem when tweaking keys. I am still working in stepped tangents, going thru and adjusting key poses. Everytime i go to adjust a key, it makes a new key on the same frame instead of adjusting the one currently there.

OR, sometimes it will make a new key .005 of a frame behind the original key. But i think that is unrelated. the main problem is instead of adjusting keys currently there, it makes new ones. Autokey is on... anyone have any idea how to fix this annoying problem?

One other possibility could be that if you've scaled keys in your dopesheet (ie a chunk of keys), then they always almost settle into fractions of spots. I always have to scale then while all those keys are still selected I just moved them over one frame then back and they all rest in whole numbered frames.
