Known Issues

Animation
Caching : Crash with two Type objects when generator set to "Python"

Workaround: contained empty data. MAYA-98667
Caching : Type object with generator set to Python does not update correctly when cache filled in background

If your animation starts at frame S then animate the generator value using this

setKeyframe -t S-1 -v 0 type1.generator;

setKeyframe -t S -v 9 type1.generator

Animating the generator value makes it evaluate correctly MAYA-96269
Foundation
Crash loading scene containing bifrostGraph nodes if bifrostGraph plug-in is missing

Workaround: Ensure that you have installed the bifrostGraph plug-in before opening scenes that contain Bifrost nodes. MAYA-99392
Modeling
python commands polyColorSet representation flag no longer works properly when set to False

Don't use representation=False, just

print cmds.polyColorSet(q=True, allColorSets=True)

The representation parameter only accepts A(alpha only), RGB, and RGBA values. MAYA-98863
viewFit failing to focus on deformed selected objects

Use control-F to focus the selected object(s) MAYA-85023
Viewport
Enable MultiDraw consolidation on Mac

Improved viewport performance in large animated scenes in newer versions of MacOS (at least 10.14.5). MAYA-95694
Viewport sometimes goes blank after loading specific scenes

If the viewport gets into a blank state, it can be repaired by switching the panel layout with one of the Quick layout buttons. View this topic in the Maya Help for more information: Quick layout and Outliner buttons MAYA-94555
