Workaround for crash on X2 project load (Essential)

I noted in a previous thread that in certain circumstances, when scrolling horizontally through the PRV, I'd get a crash. I also had a similar problems when placing a midi track in note view.

A new issue cropped up where the project crashed after loading. I had just saved the project and had the PRV open. The project would begin,  Aria would pop up its little dialog while loading samples and then when finished - Kaboom!

Since I have a sneaking suspicion that problem is in a routine common to both the PRV and the track notes view and only occurs in *certain* situations, I did this:

Start Sonar - do not load a project (yet)

Minimize the Sonar application window so that just the control bar is visible - *then* load the project.

Success.

Maximize the the Sonar application window - Kaboom again.


Redo the first couple of steps to load the project with only the control bar visible

Select some other screenset. Joy-Joy!

Of course, I had already eliminated the video driver in Windows 7 by disabling all the 'Aero' stuff and placing on 'old-style' mode...

As I see it, this is a problem in some internal routine that is common to both the PRV and track notes view, which makes sense since they are similar in function. Such routine is triggered *only* when a window area display refresh occurs, since I can avoid it by simply making those windows areas non-updateable by modifying the applications viewport to occlude it. I am using X2 Essential build 308. Working with a 16 track midi (classical), each track of which has 3 or four CC's in use and might have a half-dozen program changes (which I gotta convert to keyswitches - ugh...)
