This was a 2-part bug:
1) "Track index" (i.e. "index of NLA track within NLA Stack") was calculated incorrectly when the transform data is created. A typo meant that this was actually "index of strip within original track"
2) Strips were flying around madly vertically (especially for downward movements, and with extreme difficulty for upwards) as the track index was being updated incorrectly. I suspect at the time I was misreading it as trackIndex = ... vs trackIndex += ..., though it obviously looked wrong looking at it now!
Fix#21498: Edit curve Shape key /252_r 27318
Added full support of shape keys for curves and nurbs surfaces including
topology changing in edit mode, undo stuff, updating relative keys when
working under basis and so on.
Modifiers were being mistakenly recalculated at every frame as long as the object had animation, slowing things down due to incorrect depsgraph recalc tags.
Renamed OB_RECALC -> OB_RECALC_ALL to reduce future confusion. During this process, I noticed a few dubious usages of OB_RECALC, so it's best to use this commit as a guide of places to check on. Apart from the place responsible for this bug, I haven't changed any OB_RECALC -> OB_RECALC_OB/DATA in case that introduces more unforseen bugs now, making it more difficult to track the problems later (rename + value change can be confusing to identify the genuine typos).
Potential fix (the error would explain the gimbal case, not the normal case. Also, it doesn't explain why it worked from time to time on other platforms).
- Rename option and flag to something more sane
- Add property to manipulator operator and set true by default
Confirm on Release can now be forced true or false per operator, in which case it won't use the default value (the user preference).
Add hidden property to be able to force confirm on release (drag immediately is a silly name) on or off.
Streamline method for adding common properties to transform operators.
Only source/blender/editors/ dir, should not give errors on different platforms
Only removing: UI_*.h, ED_*.h, WM_*.h, DNA_*.h, IMB_*.h, RNA_*.h, PIL_*.h

Bugfix: When autokey is enabled, notifiers to refresh the animation editors *after* transforms finished for objects were missing.
While I understand the need to limit these to not doing this during transform, after transform, this lead to lag/inconsistent UI problems.

* Added 'Damped Track' Option to 'Make Track' Operator
* Improved the code of the 'Clear Track' operator to include other types of tracking constraint too
Only recalculate changes when absolutely necessary (mouse move triggers a soft recalc that will only happen before the next redraw other events trigger hard recalcs). The problem was that mouse moves are reported as lots of events (with small dx,dy) between each redraw which would trigger often heavy recalculations every time while only the last one was really important (the one before the redraw).
This makes snap project (retopo) much more manageable but induces a very small lag equal to one refresh cycle. Confirming transform does a hard refresh, so the final result is always consistent with mouse position.
Added flags for the mapping function offering more control over what values were affected and when. In the WIP code, the values for unselected verts were getting the restoration conversion being repeatedly applied, resulting in the values tending to zero.
This commit fixes some update issues for some rig setups used for Durian, with proxies not updating correctly during transforms.
The setup involves an armature that has been proxified, which deforms a mesh in the group it came from. One of the bones in this armature is constrained to an empty that was added in the shot file.
When the empty is moved around, the mesh does not deform in response to the armature until the transform is confirmed.
This was because the depsgraph tagging was not comprehensive enough, since only a few cached tags got restored (but not all). For now, full depsgraph tagging is now performed for objects as they are transformed.
- In 2.4x, this setting was the lock button in the headers.
- Now, this option can be found in the View menus of all relevant editors
- Basically, this option toggles whether objects (using animation data that's being edited) get updated during animation editor transforms to give realtime feedback on the effects of tweaks.
- By default, this is enabled, since this fits in nicer with 2.5's everything 'live' paradigm. However, it is recommended to disable this on slower computers or when updates for heavy rigs are causing too much workflow lag
- Also, removed some old crufty settings from action editor data
Autokeying for transform functions now gets context-info, allowing for bone paths to be recalculated.
However, the main purpose of this is to allow KeyingSets to eventually have poll functions.
* Added ANIM_list_elem_update and ANIM_id_update functions to call when
changing animation curves, which will then call the RNA property update
functions for those curves.
This is to replace just calling DAG_id_flush_update, that may not always
be the right thing to do, and doesn't send proper notifiers for redraw.
Still only used/usable when transforming in the graph editor, not sure
how this do this with NLA for example, .. needs to be improved.
* Added function wm_data_handle_update function to contain the object
update function, and also added scene animation update there. Actually
it should be doing all datablocks, this makes it work for sequencer.
Joshua, do you agree this is the right direction to go in? I can revert or
change the code if you think it should be done differently. Mainly wanted
to get this working well for sequencer now.
A to add the current snapping point to the list
Alt-A to remove the last one
The resulting snapping point is the average of all snap points in the list (and the one under the mouse pointer, if valid).
Snapping between two verts is a matter of moving over the first, pressing A, moving over the other, confirming transform.
This is used to force snap on and off when needed.
Also, when transform is not run modal, it will use default values for PET and snap properties (False) instead of scene settings. No need to force them off when calling transform with Exec.

The new widget isn't there yet, but the rest works, including:
Increment (gears) is now a snap mode
Ctrl click to toggle snap on or off (in transform and 3d view)
Shift+Ctrl click to select snap mode (3d view only)
Snap status (on/off) is persisted in tool settings, no need to always turn it back on when entering transform.
It's still possible to have something resembling the old system by editing the transform modal keymap to snap on on ctrl press and snap off on key release.
