Maya 2019 - Can't select / translate Editable Motion Trail

[jorgebalabis]

Details:

- Unable to select / modify / translate motion trail.

- Motion trail setting at default.

- First motion trail is the only one working

- New motion trail cannot be selected

- Using Maya 2019.1

New issues:

- New objects created (polygons,locator etc) cannot be scaled

-----

Edit:

Issue appears to be fixed by simply copy and pasting my scene to a new Maya session. My best guess is that by doing incremental it somehow corrupted my file. 

Thank you

For any other animator ready to punch editable motion trails in their stupid face here's what I did to get them to work:

- initially had my units set to meters which launched motion trail frames into outer space when attempting to translate them in the viewport

- set my units to centimeters and tried to translate motion trail keys on the same motion trail I had created with units set to meters; this had the same result: motion trail keys to the moon!

- deleted existing motion trail by deleting motionTrail1Handle from the outliner

- sacrificed goat

-selected rig control I wanted a new motion trail for and went to motion trail options

-reset settings, created motion trail and was able to edit the keys in the viewport as I had initially hoped to
