Why are there extra frames in Unity's Animation System?

Question

So I dont understand why there are these extra frames in the animation window. All of the keys' tangents are on "Constant" so there isn't any smexy lerping between values, but this little chunk that is on is extremely problematic for the feel of the game.

On a side note, I've found this to be on all of my animations throughout my game. Erm.

Why?

check your keyed properties. if you have a key on a sprite property it may be taking up 2 frames. you only need to move that one key one frame earlier.

If you start a new test project, create a new clip for some gameobject(empty, cube, whatever) and you create a couple keyframes, do you have the same issue? I do not have this issue in 4.6.1

I've run into the same issue with stepped animations (constant tangents). Instead of having identical first and last keyframes like you would with smooth tangents, delete the last keyframe and extend the second to last keyframe to one sample before where you would normally put your duplicate. For example, if you have a 3 frame looped animation with keyframes every fifth sample, it would normally look like so:

 A0, B5, C10, A15

Your workaround will instead look like this:

 A0, B5, C10, C14
