@raaan127 You need to add a SortingGroup component at the SkeletonRenderer's GameObject. Unfortunately the MeshRenderer API does not allow to customize the sorting point from center to pivot, therefore this additional component is required.

I was having the same problem, getting desperate because Kaspersky only asked me how to disinfect the executable without giving me the option not to disinfect it. @raaan127 thanks for documenting the option

it's working for me now!

That's a funny, but smart workflow @raaan127!
Now you have a real thing and your animations will level up and speed up, no need for drawing anymore (well, it's always good to draw, just not the curves)! We will separate x and y to be able to key them separately, in the future, but you can still animate them separately. No need for the bone for x and the bone for y. Make sure to check the Graph video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37CeFRzrjqc&t=148s. In the beginning, I animate a bouncing ball with only one controller. The video is sped up, in reality, it took me around 5 min to animate it. First I animated x, then y-axis. Try to replicate it. Bouncing ball is always a great exercise!

@raaan127, you posted to a thread that is 5 and 1/2 years old, but yes you can resize everything in the Spine project using Import Data scale:
