4.18 "Select an item to debug" getting unselected for Animation blueprint

If you select the animation to debug in the dropdown “Select an item to debug”, the next time you press play, it will unselect the animation and go back to “No debug object selected”.

The same dropbox works fine in the Character blueprint, but not on the Animation one.

Still happening

This one is still unsolved. We can’t select object to debug before pressing play,which leads to the situation that the blueprint has already executed as nothing has been selected to debug.
