Window Set Bugs

Post by bayswater »

Is anyone seeing window sets coming up different from what is saved?

I have a series of window sets to help reduce mousing. But I'm finding that most of them do not come up as saved. The specific problem is the tab selected when they come up. For example, a window set has a left sidebar with a Track Selector. The main body of the CW has the Tracks tab selected. With that in place, a window set is saved. But when that window set is invoked, it is the Track Selector that is in front and selected, requiring extra key commands or mousing to get to the expected layout. Strangely, it does work properly if the MIDI tab is selected when the window set is saved.

I'm assuming Tech Support can't reproduce this -- they suggested I load sequences to new projects and delete preferences. All time consuming but I did it, and as expected, it made no difference.

I used to see this when I used the CW. Being I no longer use it I haven't pursued the issue any further. In addition to the tab selection in the main window I also saw tab selections in the left sidebar (didn't use the right one) come up wrong from the saved set.

Yes, I also see weird window set recall at times. Not always. I blame my 3 monitors.
