That's actually a very useful feature if you can control it. :-)

Oh good. It's not just me.
I always thought "animation work flow" was a technique to avoid having to go
back and change something you'd already committed to using, so you wouldn't
have to re-do texturing just because you decide his nose is bigger, or re-do
walk cycles because you decided he needs five fingers instead of four.

There's a guy who shows you how to do this in Blender, too. I tried it, and
it's pretty straightforward. I can find the videos if you care. :-)

Sometimes it's useful. Frequently it isn't. Especially given that it's
usually unexpected, and once they're stuck it's apparently impossible to
unstick them...

haha, stop being crazy, dude. You surely have some sort of "block"

single move.

There's surely a faster and simpler workflow for that. I'm sure you
didn't get into a Haskell expert in a single weekend.

They will be shiny once you export them for povray to render. ;)
