It looks like it's specifically wanting to add a CanvasItem derived node (AnimationPlayer isn't such a node), can you please explain what steps you took to open this window?

[perk34]

i right clicked the screen then clicked add node then searched Animationplayer it didn't work

[perk34]

I tried it on other projects of mine but it didn't work on anyone one of them of them. there is no animationplayer

Right clicked where? In the 2D editor window? That's dedicated to adding CanvasItem nodes, click in the tree to the left instead, or the plus sign

This isn't a bug, when clicking the 2D editor view you are given the option to add a node at that position as a CanvasItem, and AnimationPlayer isn't a CanvasItem

If you want to add a generic node you need to click in the tree to the left, or click the plus sign

oh my god i am so stupid it worked thank you I was stuck the whole day

The editor menu might need to say something clearer like Add a CanvasItem node to make it more clear what it does
