It happens if the streamline tool has nmb tool assigned.
When you activate the tool through hotkey, you have the cursor inside viewport.
If you activate the tool out side of viewport, when you move the cursor into viewport, as soon as the cursor enter the viewport the nmb tool will be activated while the cursor is on the edge of the viewport where is not a good place for tool operation.
I can change it to jump the cursor to viewport center instead of animation.
I was introduced when woofy asked for a composite tool which is a combination of streamline tools and visual tools. When finished a visual tool operation by clicking a button, a nmb circularizing operation is followed.
What is the proper way to click a button to activate a streamline tool then use its nmb tool?
This is the example.In the beginning of a composite tool process, I have a polygon selected and the polygon subdivision tool is opened with its UI. I adjust the subdivision level, then click the tool's button to close the polygon subdivision tool. As soon as the tool is closed the composite tool proceeds to activate the circularize streamline tool. Since this tool has nmb tool assigned, the program move the cursor into viewport automatically in order to be able to perform the nmb operation properly. Now I only need to move the cursor to circularize the selection without pressing mouse button. Once circularize is achieved, I press Esc key to close the circularize tool and the composite tool brings up the extrusion tool which also has nmb tool assigned. Now I only need to move cursor to do extrusion without pressing mouse buttons. Finally I hit Esc key again and the whole composite tool operation finished.
If you don't want the animation, you can remove the nmb tool. What is the reason you want to activate from a button a streamline tool which has nmb tool assigned. Nmb operation can not be performed outside of viewport.
