--- Comment #1 from Eoin O'Neill <eoinoneill1...@gmail.com> ---
Hi Maarten,

Thanks for taking the time to file bugs/wishlist requests. There's quite a few
issues to tackle here, so I'll probably take the time to split this up into
multiple bug reports once I can confirm them as that's typically how we do
things (since 1 post with many issues within makes it hard to track actual
progress). If you could, in the future, post 1 issue or wish per post, that
would be great.

Before I do that though, I have a few questions or observations...

This doesn't sound right, it shouldn't be possible as the image itself is the
only keeper of time (a layer and another layer cannot have different "current
times", for example.) Can you provide an example project for this? Are you
positive you haven't misaligned two keyframe positions in the timeline docker?

For the record, this is configurable as it's something we know users have
differing opinions on. You can turn this off in unchecking `Settings >
Configure Krita... > General > Miscellaneous  > Adapt Playback Range to
Keyframes` I think an argument could be made that this setting should be made
easier to find. Some users do actually prefer to have some adaptability to
playback range (particularly, new users who just want a frame to render at a
certain time, for instance.)

This is also a setting, though more cleanly presented in the GUI as the "drop
frames" button. Generally speaking, animators like to keep frame time
consistency so stopping when the computer slows down is not ideal when it comes
animation. So, for example, frame 20 would either always occurs at 0.8333
seconds or is skipped when it misses that deadline in favor of the next
immediate frame (when the computer is next available.) You can disable this by
unchecking the `drop frames` button on the animation title bar.
