Control Surface and Track Folder issues - can anyone confirm this pls? - FIGURED OUT, BUG?

Every project (pre-X1) I open seems to have this problem:

I have 2 Control Surfaces using the WAI (Where Am I); one is ACT based and the other is a generic surface.

X1 skips tracks with both of these -- meaning, if I have 10 tracks but 2 are in a track folder, I only see 'some' of the tracks as being capable of control by the surfaces.  I should say the control surfaces only see some.

Expanding the Folder does not change this.  IOW I do not get all tracks available to the control surface.  It's totally reproducible here.

And, Track Folders are acting strange too.  If I start a "blank.cwt" and add a few audio tracks, then move some into a new Track Folder, the folder comes up with the proper "default height" I previously setup.  HOWEVER, hitting "F" to fit all tracks does NOT reduce its height as it does other tracks.

So if anyone can confirm these two bugs (they seem like bugs to me), I'd appreciate the feedback.

Thanks.

Btw, once you do get it right, and then maximize the folder for whatever reason, it still won't react to the "F"it command.

I'm just having flaky issues keeping MCU Pro CS4 and Faderport working

I've only had a very brief play so far but haven't noticed any negative issues with my MCU but..... I nearly always had some sort of problem with mackie mode and folders anyway to the point where I stopped using folders.

One thing I have noticed in X1 that I like is that the active control in the console and track view are now in unison when using the Mackie buttons to navigate.

BTW, I never had trouble with ACT or CS's with Folders before.

Did you take a look at the screen shot I put up?

Ugh, it turns out it happens in 8.5.3 as well.

Oh well.  I bet this is one bug that will live on forever lol

This am is decision point - stop lusting after the pretty sister of my favourite gal and go back on my restore knees.

It's silly to keep working when 8.5.3 worked. I don't need Faderport to survive but I sure as #*** don't want to lose my control pro. Cheers.

Try having a fiddle with the "Controller in view" settings. That does settle it down a bit for me. I'm not at my DAW and unlikeliest to be there for several days so I'm working from memory.

IIRC they are in the control surface set-up dialogue (where you add and remove surfaces) There's options to follow console view, track view or both. I find the settings there make a difference.

Again working form memory I think follow both clears up a few of the troubles I get. Not perfectly but it does make it better.

Thanks FBB...  but it's a bug in my opinion.  It's just not a new bug.  Hidden tracks are still visible to the control surface which explains why they seem missing on the track view.
 
I probably should try archiving those tracks but still, it'd be nice if there were an option to "ignore" hidden tracks (as if they were archived or simply not there) for control surfaces using "WAI."
