Post by rockman413 »

Hi !
When use the mouse wheel to scroll in MIDI editor, either it scroll to the top or to the bottom.... How can I scroll it slowly and find the MIDI notes I have in piano roll?

Not sure what the problem is with your mouse, my doesn't do that. On the other hand, you can always use the scroll handle on the left side - just click and drag it.

What version? In DP 8 I had that problem with Trackpads and the Apple Magic mouse, but not with other devices. It's fixed in DP 9.

DP9 on PC. I just tried DP9 on Mac, this problem is gone!! Is there a switch or setting for this?

It does not appear to be totally fixed in some Windows systems. It jumps from top to bottom for me in windows as well.

Same system, same peripherals, it works fine in OS X.

I suppose that casts some doubt on the argument that it was an Apple issue and not a DP issue.
