[WORKAROUND][CWBRN-31381] - X3e Inspector Not Staying In Place When Reopening Project!

ONLY IN X3! When I move the Inspector under the main Multidock bar (see right hand pic) so that the Multidock spans the entire screen width, it reverts to it's default location beside the Multidock (see left hand pic) when the project is saved and reopened. This happens whether the screenset is locked or not.
 
The purpose is to have the Inspector visible in Track View only while maximizing the width of Console and other views.
 
X1 & X2 work as intended: The Inspector does not revert to the default location.
 

 
Is this a known bug?
 
Edited with screenshot.

    If someone can confirm this happens to them too, I will submit a report. Let me know if you need a screen shot.

    This seems to only affect the Inspector when docked. If I pull it out and leave it floating away from the left side of the screen it will remain there when reopening a project. But when docked it insists on remaining visible in every screenset.

    Yet another design thing/problem. (I use the inspector early on in a project and then never again ... so out of 3 months work, say, it has value for about an hour)  My solution is to undock the stupid inspector and THEN hide it (By default, type "I").   If you try to hide it while docked, as you say, it stays obstinately in place and takes up space and adds to the visual clutter.

    I'm sort of confused with what you mean but I might have the gist of it, in future it might be better to give steps to repro like this:
    http://forum.cakewalk.com/Nudging-note-events-in-take-lanes-doesnt-work-properly-Confirmed-by-CW-m3023030.aspx
     
    In platinum (I'm not validating X3) whenever I dock the Inspector on the left looks like the first screenshot on the left hand side in post #1.
     
    Similar sort of thing happens if I dock it at the right hand side. I've tried drag and dropping etc.
     
    If I don't want to see the inspector I hide it either by clicking the double arrow icon or through the view menu.
     
    Locking/unlocking screensets and flipping between them makes no difference. Nothing is moving around...
     
    From what I'm saying this isn't reproducible in platinum unless I'm missing something...
     
    Cheers...

    Try positioning the Inspector as shown in the right hand pic, then save, close and reopen the project. Does it still look like the right hand pic or the left?
     
    X1 & 2 do not have this issue, only X3. I don't have Sonar 2015 but would like to know if it behaves the same.

    Screensets work in Platinum it appears...
    OK so these are the only steps that I could to reproduce and here are the steps so it is clearer.



    1) Position inspector as per right hand image.
    2) Save project
    3) Close project
    4) Reopen.
     
    Expected
     
    Looks like right hand image
     
    Actual
     
    Looks left hand image
     
    Please report (link below) and paste a CWBRN number below... Cheers...!

    A Sonar2015 user will have to submit it now that X3 is no longer supported by the automated system.

    These things are out to test us.

    Just select Platinum and put NA into the other fields. Past a link to here as well.

    Yeah, I'm an idiot today... and everyday!
     
    "Sonar Platinum/Producer" is the new listing to use no matter what version you have.

    X3 will never be cured of its Alzheimer's but today I discovered a simple solution by accident that makes me feel better. I just wish I was more accident prone so it would have happened sooner.
     
    1. Save the screen layout to a numbered location on the screenset module.
    2. Open Sonar and confirm the saved layout is wrong (unless its the default layout, it will be wrong).
    3. Click the screenset number it was saved as and it will be restored.
     
    This will save you from having to reconfigure a project layout by hand each time its opened. :)
