Anyone else finding issues with G Mask Tracer in 2026.2.1 on linux Working inside BFX and pulling a key ![20260116_112857](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thedepartmentofexternalservices/original/2X/2/2900b9cf58d1090cbcda3bfa336366c0a7e7418f.jpeg) No key frames on the node, all working well throughout the shot.. no changes. Then I exit the batch, render the shot and suddenly the parameters change and the key needs to be re-adjusted. ![20260116_113001](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/thedepartmentofexternalservices/original/2X/b/b81d9d5b8d6a624aebe4a858a861589bdf5e11c8.jpeg) 2026.2.1 Ill submit a ticket, just wanted to see if anyone else has found this. ---

Haven’t noticed that, but have only been on 2026 for a short while. Is there a keyframe set that may be messing with the key? ---

I’m having a few strange hiccups with gmask tracer, and it seems to be unusable on the timeline for anything but the most basic functions. ---

Not having this specific issue since we don’t use BFX, but we have another validated bug concerning gmask tracer that’s similar. Makes it more or less unusable without pre-rendering for anything moderately complex. ---

I would really love to hear some positive stories about the latest release, so I don’t worry about putting my jobs in jeopardy. ---

As I said in the other thread. We’ve given up on the 2026.X and beyond releases. Can’t deal with the bucket of surprises. ---

> [@randy](#): > > Colorspace I think your right that it might be colour space related. I’m getting other colour issues with paint node too. I render and the colour shifts, I go back into bfx, bypass and then reactivate the paint node and it corrects itself… Each time the issue seems to come about when I render on the timeline ---

No, timeline fx. I rarely use bfx.
