I am working on a scene, and suddenly my attention is caught by this camera being whjere ther was no camera previously. It started out as just a grey outline, like all the other cameras. I selected each camera one by one, and made them all invisible, using the double view so I could find exactly which one it was...it doesn't seem to be any of them, not even the shadow cams. Once again, I look away for just a moment; and now it's PURPLE! WTF? Why is this here, and how do I get rid of it?

...and why did my animation frame render upside down? THe scene is right side up, but the names are not only on the wrong windows, but upside down. THis is VERY strange. ::wondering if I should hire an exorsist::

Had that happen once - the purple camera (the grey camera many times) - but could not reproduce. But mine does have a Foot camera :-) Since very first version of P5 (Billyware) a 4 camera view with Face camera in upper right window will, on loading a new figure, display the feet in the Face camera window! Any action in that window will cause P5 to get over it's foot fetish in a hurry and focus on the face. Usually this only occurs immediately after loading P5 and if it was last closed with 4 camera veiw selected, but being P5 it can happen other times too seemingly at randowm of course. Reported it during Pay-Beta, but CL felt it was low priority compared with other bugs - can't argue with that ;-)
