Three Minor Bug Reports

Nothing serious, but I can't report them on the main Cake site so here they are:
 
1. Click the 'Show/Hide Bus Pane' button. The Bus Pane is minimized as expected. Click the 'Show/Hide Bus Pane' button again and it's shown again. All fine, except that every time you do it, the bus pane grows in height by a couple of pixels. If you do it a lot, the bus pane will gradually get much bigger!
 
2. Minimize the multi-dock window, after making sure it only has the Console view within it. Now, with the multi-dock still minimized, click the 'X' button on the right of the Console tab to close it. Nothing happens, and yet you cannot open the Console view again by double clicking it. Now minimize Sonar and then show it again. The minimized multi-dock is black (ie. not drawn correctly). The only way to get the Console view back is to open it via the 'Views' menu. To see how this should work, do the same when the multi-dock isn't minimized.
 
Like I said, nothing serious but I thought I'd mention it as the problem reporting page is offline on the Cake website.
 
[Edit: And I'm having problems getting the comp meter to do anything at all in the Pro Channel on my laptop with older ATI Mobility Radeon graphics card. I've tried loading presets but that doesn't work.]
 
[Edit 2: Reported another bug below.]

I'm waiting 'til the weekend to get my copy. So, I don't have it, nor the way to check, but I must know something. If you or anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated.

Can you automate Alias Factor?

#2 is fixed and will be available in the X1a patch scheduled for week of Dec 20th.

You'll notice that the MultiDock opens fine in the second monitor but it is NOT maximized.  It opens minimized! Can anyone confirm this?

Send me your second monitor, and I'll check it out.

Got another one for you:
 
Open any VSTi soft synth. Click the 'VST' button at the top of the soft synth window. Choose 'Plug-In Properties' from the list. When the properties window appears, just click  'OK'. I get two error message windows, one after the other.

Not sure if this is a bug or user error, but here's what I see:

1) Move the MultiDock to a second monitor, maximize it and save this configuration as either your "Normal" template or a "Test" project.

2) Close and re-open the Normal template or Test project.


You'll notice that the MultiDock opens fine in the second monitor but it is NOT maximized.  It opens minimized!

Can anyone confirm this?

Ok, I just tried it (after the crash).  It opened max'd for me.

When I say max'd, I mean I had clicked in the upper right of the CV to make it full screen on the 2nd monitor, then saved the entire project as a .cwt.

After it crashed (ugh), I relaunched Sonar, reloaded the test file and it opened as I left it.

So I can't YET make it do what you see.

it changes EVERY other view in some way

I couldn't resist this one Billy.


Really, I will stop this soon. I promise.

I'm also seeing other issues with MultDock - or should I say with UNdocking.

If I load up a normal.cwt and undock the console view, it changes EVERY other view in some way I didn't expect.   Totally strange.

Billy,

Try dragging the tab instead of right clicking picking undock from menu.  You'll 1) find that much faster and 2) it floats the Console in one step.  The undock from the menu makes the view a child of the main frame which will do a restore on all other views so you can see the new child window.

Are you using Windows 7?
 
I CAN get it to where it's almost fully maximized, but not completely maximized as I could in SONAR 8.5.3.
 
In SONAR 8.5.3, I could just double-click the title bar of the floated Console View and that state would be saved exactly as I left it.  That's not happening for me with SONAR X1.  It could be OS related since I believe Windows 7 handles windows slightly different than XP and Vista.

Uh, nope.  I'm  on XP PRO 32bit.   It may in fact be OS related, Jose.

I believe the first one mentioned here is known and was already mentioned will be in  a fix the week of the 20th. I don't see what the 3rd one is.

I don't see what the 3rd one is.

It's this: http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=2150979 (Post #11 above).
 
Also, the bug that's been fixed is the 2nd one, not the 1st (unless you saw Cakewalk say they fixed this in another thread that is).
 
 

Thanks. Actually my reference was to the first of the two quotes on my post, sorry I didn't make that clear.
