Show/Hide Track Selector in Sequence Editor Not Working

Post by dwilliams »

Why does show/hide track selector in the Sequence Editor no longer work? Does anyone else have this problem?

Just used it without issue.

EDIT: I use the SE in Consolidated Windows.

If you are talking about microscopic button in the lower left corner that shows/hides the track selector-- we've kind of settled on the idea that the button works, it is just a very small click zone, and one can easily miss it when trying to see it, much less click it. I think some Themes show it more clearly than others (?)

If you are talking about some COMMAND that shows or hides it, then I don't know about that.

I have resorted to always using the key command since trying to find the click zone is an exercise in frustration. Yes it still works but I can understand how you might think it doesn't.

This is a mystery to me. I have no problem seeing or clicking on the image of the track selector at the bottom left corner of any of the screens. It can be selected in the drop down menus in any of the panels in the sidebars, and invoked with Shift-Command-T.

Could it be a problem with some themes?

Or, a shot in the dark —- I stopped using a bluetooth mouse with DP and design apps. I found the BT latency led to some problems when trying edit quickly, narrowing on exact spots on the screen etc.

I recall that some screenshots showed that indeed some themes had windows with more rounded corners, which made that button harder to see & click.

Maybe an edit on the image would help. It helped in the past with the velocity marker problem.

E.g., is this much different from what most are seeing?
