<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>I agree that this is stupid behavior and should be considered a bug. To demonstrate more specifically, do the following:<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><OL><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Create a Superquadric source. Apply.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Click the +Y camera view button.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Open the Animation View.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Create a Camera Orbit track. Accept the default values.
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Play the animation.<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></OL><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'><BR>
Notice that the animation begins and ends with the camera facing down the X axis rather than the Y axis where we initiated the orbit track. It is logical to expect the animation to begin and end at the camera position at the time of creating the track.<BR>
<BR>
Should I add a bug?<BR>
