Using F1 key automatically enabling looping

Post by James Steele »

I used to locate to a measure, press F1... locate to a later measure, press F2... and then press 7 on the number pad to activate looping. Somehow I got into this weird mode where the minute I hit F1 or F2 looping is activated automatically without me hitting 7 on the number pad. Am I losing my mind?

Could it already be activated? And F1 and F2 are just changing the loop points.

It doesn't appear to be. Looping is off and the moment I set a point using F1 or F2, it turns on automatically. Weird. I don't remember it being this way.

I'm seeing the same thing as James, but I'm using DP10.13.

I don't know how long it's been like this because I never really use F1 and F2.
