Loading an Animation in a Model parented to Player.Character will create an internal duplicate Track

[aaron_mccoy (PleaseDontBanAaron)]

Steps to repro:

1. Create a Model and place it under a Players Character (preferably from the Server)
2. Have the client load an animation from the model and the player it.
3. On a later frame, stop that animation (assuming it’s the only animation one playing)

Issue:
Instead of removing the animation, the engine will cause it to store a duplicate of that animation track named “Animation” to be always playing internally (presuming it’s a looped animation).

This causes a hidden animation track to be played that is undesired by the user

Calling Animator:GetPlayingAnimationTracks() will showcase that it is there and playing.

If you parent the Model outside of the Players character, this issue does not occur.

Just spent an hour (along with 2 others) investigating this - turns out it’s because Roblox creates a duplicate track

My output is nearly the same as yours, I found the track and it was parented to nil:

This is a huge bug, the only workaround is to stop the track yourself. Extreme jank
