    Literally the title.
    If you try to add a new parameter and rename it : IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.(wrapper stelemref) System.Object.virt_stelemref_class_small_idepth(intptr,object)
    and then falls back to the generic name.

    I'm having the same issue as well. However, I've found a workaround. All you need to do is type the parameter name twice, before refreshing.

    Steps:
    - Add a new parameter, name it and press enter
    - Without refreshing the parameters window, click on the new parameter again and type anything
    - Refresh the parameters window
    - Now the parameter has saved the first name you typed and you can use it as usual

    Thanks for this, in the meantime these Animator bugs are rather annoying!

    If you're able to reproduce this issue, please submit a bug-report as described in this document:
    https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/bug-reporting

    It's important that you report these issues together with a reproduction project if you want them to get fixed. If you don't do it, it might be a long time until someone else reports them or until Unity Technologies find them. Posting in the forum is not a replacement for a bug-report.

    After you submitted the bug-report, you receive a confirmation email with a bug-report Case number. Please post the Case number (number only, not the link) in this forum thread for Unity staff to pick up.

    I had the same issue with Unity 2020.1.0a25, but it looks fixed in version 2020.1.0b6.

    b6 should indeed fix the issue.

    From the b6 release notes:
    • Animation: Fixed an issue where renaming an animator parameter via search would rename the wrong animator parameter. (1202172)

    • Animation: Fixed an issue where renaming an animator parameter would print an IndexOutOfRangeException error to the console. (1217845)

    I'm having the same problems isn't there a way to open up the actual whateverfilenameis.controller and edit the text in notepad or something?
