I haven't used Sonar much since the Dorchester update, but now that I'm working again I've noticed a strange behavior in calling up the staff view. I usually keep the staff view open on a second monitor and have a key bound to opening a track in staff view. Prior to this update, if I had track 1 open in staff view and then selected another track, the new track would be displayed when I invoked the "open in staff view." Now all that happens is that the tab displaying the track name blinks, but keeps displaying the original track. Do I need to adjust some setting or is this a bug?

Oops! Forgot to update my signature. I'm running Sonar Artist with the Dorchester update installed.

I just confirmed it, on my system too.   I made sure that "lock contents" was not enabled in the staff window.   Using 'floating' staff window. 
 
Interesting.   Kronosman, as a workaround, if you use "lock contents" in the very top left corner of the staff view window (left click), then when you select a new track and open staff view you will get a new window with the staff view for the selected track(s).

This is a known problem in "Dorchester" and has been reported and confirmed by Cakewalk (http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3215307).

Thanks to everyone who responded. I hadn't seen the earlier post identifying this as a known problem. I'm trusting that this will be corrected in a future update.

Happy to report that this bug has been fixed in the Everett update. Invoking staff view now works as it used to.
