Greetings,  
I’m having a problem that I can’t resolve.  
I’ve searched online in every way but can’t find a solution.  
I use Mac OSX with UE 5.2.1 (but also with a previous version) I cannot in any way move the green cross to see the animation preview when I create a “1D Blend Space” by mixing two different animations.  
The animation works correctly, but even holding “hold control” I can’t do anything.  
I also tried with other keys but nothing, it doesn’t move.

Anyone have this problem?  
Thank you

Did you ever find a solution to this? I’m having the same issue on Windows 10. Also using 5.2.1. Is this just an issue with this particular version?
