Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new 3D URP project
- Create an empty GameObject in the Hierarchy
- Open two Animator windows and dock them in the Editor so both are visible
- From the Hierarchy, select the empty GameObject
- Click Create in the Animation window and save the new animation
- In the Animation window, click Add Property > Transform > Position
- Add new keyframes anywhere by double clicking in the timeline
- In one of the Animation windows, click the Play button and click it again to pause
- In the same window, click the "Preview" button to disable scene view mode
- Try to Play the animation in the second Animation window
Actual results: Play button is disabled/greyed out in the other Animation window
Expected results: Play button is clickable in the other Animation window
Reproducible with versions: 6000.5.0a7, 6000.5.1f1, 6000.6.0a7
Not reproducible with versions: 6000.4.12f1, 6000.5.0a6
Tested on (OS): macOS 26.5, Ubuntu 24.04
Notes:
- On some earlier versions, after 9th step, both Animation windows would not play until refresh, but in latest versions it seems that only the play button is disabled
- "Space" shortcut still works to play the animation
- Adding new keyframes or entering Play mode, makes the button accessible again
