curious, was the original project created in the same version of Sonar as the new project?

IIRC, having a locked PRV in the project will prevent changing focus by selecting tracks in the PRV track pane of the active PRV.

I tried everything believe me between lots and lots of tracks in this project and it would not work , I have transferred everything and it works perfectly now , was defiantly a corrupt project .

Just to be clear this means you do not have a locked PRV tab in the Multidock...? Because this is the one thing I know of that will definitely cause this specific issue with changing track focus, and I verified it's still a problem in the current release.
 
I that isn't it, it's likely there's some other very specific cause, not just some indeterminate 'corruption'. If you can strip down the project to identify the cause, it might save the next guy a headache.

No the original project is from platinum number 1 or x3 maybe , I have been using the same project like a painters board forever , I do install every update as it comes in .

I am sure that I did check locked prv tab , in the transferred project it works with locked prv tab , but I will double check the original and the transfer tonight .

I am willing to check any suggestions to the original project to troubleshoot what might be causing this to help others , so please let me know anything you can think of that may fix this .

Thanks will let you know about prv tabs latter today

OK So i opened my existing ( corrupted - until resolved ) project and i proceeded to unlock several PRV windows and tried to copy and paste between tracks with NO success !
 
I then opened the newly transferred identical copy project and it just works , like even with Locked PRV tabs i can lasso midi off one track + CTRL C > then tap a note of another track ( with my mouse pointer ) > hit CTRL V and it WORKS SO AMAZINGLY FLAWLESS ,this is what im talking about fantastic .
 
I wish i new what it was and why it doesn't work on the existing project maybe because i start new projects using the same project just adding new sounds midi etc and its been like that from x3.
 
Either way as i said before any suggestions i am more than willing to troubleshoot this still but for now its back to work with this EXTRA BONUS.

Not sure what happened I did a post but it disappeared so here it is again

I have found out what is happening with PRV TABS AND COPYING AND PASTING BETWEEN TRACKS !

1 )this is VERY INPORTANT PLEASE CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS
A) New project
B) insert 2 midi tracks and add some midi notes to both
C) add both midi tracks to prv tab 1, and lock the tab
D) add the same 2 midi tracks to new prv tab 2
E) in prv tab 1 , hold right click on mouse and lasso midi from track 1
F) ctrl c
G) touch a midi note of track 2
H) ctrl v
I ) works perfectly BUT ONLY ON PRV TAB 1

For prv tab 2 +

C) add both midi tracks to prv tab 1, and lock the tab
D) add the same 2 midi tracks to new prv tab 2
E) in prv tab 2 ,hold right click on mouse and lasso midi from track 1
F) ctrl c
G) touch a midi note of track 2
H) on track console using mouse click select tool then smart tool
H(a) or using mouse hit track 2 number ( in track view twice )
I) ctrl v
This is the only way to get it to work on prv tabs 2 prv tab 3,4,5,6,7etc
The copy and paste feature on works properly on prv tab 1 .

Hope this helps

I think that's just a hyper-detailed way of describing what I mentioned earlier: Having a locked PRV in the project prevents changing focus in the active PRV. The workarounds are to change focus by clicking in the track view (not the track number, just the track header) or remove the locked PRV.
 
Note also that the PRVs don't have to share tracks. For example, if PRV1 contains only Track 1 and is locked, you won't be able to change focus between tracks 2 and 3 in another PRV - the focus highlight will move, but the highlighted track doesn't actually become the target for pasting.

Ok I understand all of that and I wish I did sooner, I hope this gets fixed .

I am trying for the life of me to unlock all 3 prv tabs and it still will not work on tabs 2 and 3 ?

however I have a idea !!!!

Screensets ! 😃 If you need more than one prv tab and you can name the screenset as the midi tab you need !

The purpose of locking PRVs (and other views) is to allow opening more than one, but only one can be active at a time.
 
Good thinking to use screensets.
