Scrub bug ?
I find the scrub function handy in the PRV in X2a.
When I scrub across midi notes the now time cursor/line smears all over the display (so I end up with hundreds of now time cursors). They disappear the minute I let go of the mouse button, but the effect is pretty messy.
Does this happen to everybody ? Or perhaps I should ask, is this the way it's always been ?

Sounds like a graphic card issue. Don't think it's Sonar since a lot of weird things like this happen to me off and on. Though I've never seen this one.

Right, it does what it is supposed to do here without screwing up the screen.

Paul - I have the same issue with X2A. Scrubbing in the PRV gives graphical anomalies all over the screen, a lot of vertical lines that disappear when you let go of the mouse button.
Should be reported as a bug even if it doesn't affect everyone!

Lets see if there is a common reason for this. Can you and the OP list your graphics system your OS and what sort of system you are running X2 on?
How have you set up your display?

I just tried it again to get a better picture of what's happening.
This problem occurs all the time, full screen, windowed, docked, undocked.
If I scrub back and forth a bit, thereby filling up the view with tightly packed vertical lines then, without moving horizontally if I move vertically (still keeping the mouse button pressed) the horizonal 'beam' that follows the cursor to tell you what note your on will erase the part of the vertical lines that it crosses. The parts of the vertical lines that haven't been 'scrubbed' by this horizontal beam remain on the screen. When I let go of the mouse button, the mess goes away.
My system :
Intel XEON E5-1620 CPU (quad core) - no onboard intel graphics
ASUS P9X79WS motherboard
16GB ECC memory
MSI Radeon HD7950 Twin Frozr III graphics card
Dell U3011 monitor 2560x1600
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
OS, apps and Sonar on an SSD, the rest on HDDs.
I've mentioned this in a few messages : SONAR X2 and X2a sometimes screws up my wireless USB mouse. No other program has ever done this.

This is what this looks like :  It would also be nice if J toggled scrub on and off.

Herby?? No wait, that was the Love Bug. Sorry.
Seriously I think you have a graphic card not getting along with Sonar.
Try running in Classic mode.

I'm seeing this bug as well (I'm using Sonar X2). It is very distracting, almost to the point that I avoid using the scrub tool...
I investigated the possibility that it was a video card issue, as suggested above. Even after completely removing all traces of my video driver, and using Microsoft's generic VGA driver (with crappy resolution and all), I still see this bug.
Furthermore, I went back to Sonar 8 to see if it happens there, and verified that this bug does not occur in Sonar 8.
So whatever is causing the issue, it is a problem with Sonar X2, not Sonar 8, and happens with my manufacturer supplied graphics driver as well as with Microsoft's generic video driver.
Here's my system info:
Windows 8.0 64 bit
ASUS EAH5450 graphics card
Intel i7-3770K 3.5 GHz (no overclocking)
Intel DZ77BH-55K motherboard
Samsung monitor, 1440x900
Ideas?

There could be a bug in the coding, though, it is possible for it to still be a hardware/driver type issue because there can be a difference in the way Sonar 8 and the X series behave with them.

There is one thing I could try that would pretty definitively resolve whether or not this is a hardware issue: My motherboard has onboard video that I don't use. I could try removing my video card, enabling the onboard video, and then running X2 to see if the issue remains.
If it does, that would pretty much guarantee that the issue was not related to the graphics card.
I'll give it a shot, and will report back.

Yes. Unless the two video systems are similar in nature (same type or brand of chips). Then the test could be inconclusive.
Try installing Sonar on a system with completely different hardware.
I've tried this before with Sonar and it does indeed have bugs, but it's still worth a try.

The problem still happens. And no, the onboard video is not based on an AMD chip; it is an Intel design, integrated into the CPU. Unfortunately, that means that the solution is not simply updating a driver or even replacing a video card. There is obviously something different about our systems that makes this bug happen. After all, some people have it, and others don't. However, it's still a bug (it's not like this type of thing happens on my system elsewhere). And for those of us that have it, it happens every time the scrub tool is used, so it's a pretty noticeable bug (see image). Given that I don't have additional computers / computer parts, I can't isolate the bug for Cakewalk. What I can contribute is this: since it occurs despite switching out both the video driver and the video card, it is unlikely that this problem is caused by a bug in the graphics card or the video driver. How does one go about submitting a bug report to Cakewalk?
