Issues with step Sequencer

I have not used it that much but I have not had those issues.

Which version of Sonar are you using and what plugin?

In the Sequencer window, the play will always the sequencer in a loop.
 
In the transport bar, unless you've set loop recording, it play continuously, bar after bar, so it leaves the step sequencer behind. Depending on how you have set up the stop button it will either stop, or return to the 'now time'. If the 'Now Time' is in the middle of the sequencer play position, it will rewind to the middle of the pattern.

I'm using Sonar Pro with Battery 4

To stop dropping notes try increasing the "Prepare Using nnn Millisecond Buffers" in Preferences > MIDI > Playback and Recording from 250 to 500 or 750

Thanks for the suggestion. Did not change anything.

Thanks for the inof. All of this happening is compeletely random though. The odd thing is that it never happens when exporting the whole audio.

been a problem for years.  no one responded ever to many people complaining about it.

yup, i always have to then convert back to step sequencer if i need to use it again.  really annoying.   its simply broken as is a lot of thier MIDI stuff.   feature enhancements are great, but what about FIXING the actual MIDI implementation!

the problem is random and sometimes works and sometimes doesn't even in the same project.  I notice it especially when exporting to an audio track.   Sometimes you will get 1 bar of drums and the rest goes silent, sometimes it goes in and out....  but ONLY if I leave them in step sequencer clips.  Once I bounce to clips it is fine. 

Been going on for years.   
 
I notice it gets worse the more SS clips you have.   I also notice it is worse if you have a mix of SS clips and standard MIDI clips together (they might have to overlap using take lanes).

It's would feel random though, if you weren't now marker is being moved, or you are not setting loop points from the project properly. And of course it wouldn't effect export.
 
If you set the loop in the track view, have the now time positioned at the start (with 'On Stop Rewind to Now Marker' selected in the Options menu). The two play buttons sill respond differently.
 
The Play in the Step sequencer will start from the beginning.  
The Play in the Transport, will from where ever you are in the timeline. If you press play, then stop, it rewinds to the beginning (The now marker that you set) and will play from there.
 
This can look random if you are not getting it. Maybe you are, an I'm getting it wrong, but the picture of confusion you have painted looks like this to me.
 
Can you give a screen print of when it's happening.
 
Step Sequencer has been solid for me, I use a lot and I don't run a power computer
