  • Sonar Platinum control bar staying lit after closing project

When I close a project, some of the buttons and boxes in the control bar remain lit. Is anyone else with the new version experiencing this? X2a and X3e are also installed on my main system and it now happens with them as well. I installed the demo on a Dell Precision Laptop and it does the same thing so I doubt it is specific to my system. Don't see an easy way to upload an image so I'll list the items on the control bar that stay lit up after I close a project.
 
Smart Tool
Event Draw Duration
Smart Grid Toggle
The Now Line slider
Metronome During Record
Loop Start and Loop Thru
Select From and Thru
 
All chipset and video drivers up to date. Both systems running Windows 7 64 bit with ATI graphic cards.
 
Install went smooth and previous settings migrated from X3e with no problems. All I had to do was go into preferences and set the projects path to a new location.
 
Thanks

Nothing like that here either (win 7, sp1, 64bit with Nvidia card)

I can confirm the same behavior on my system. I never noticed that in X3e before so I think this must be new. The Smart retains the last selection. You can add MTC and Transmit MIDI Clock to that list...

Where'd you get the demo?

Thanks for the replies! I am glad that I am not the only one seeing this especially because I've seen it on two different systems.
 
"Where'd you get the demo?"
 
My mistake, I meant to say I installed Sonar Platinum on my laptop in Demo mode.

Does it happen with new projects or only with projects made in a previous version of SONAR?

Hey scook it happens with both new and older projects from X3e.

I have not seen it. Is it something that can be put into a series of reproducible steps using a new project?

Steps to recreate
 
Open Sonar Platinum
Create a new project
Close project (no need to save it)
Certain items in the Control Bar will still be lit up, and some with data from the closed project (Loop Start and Thru for example)
 
Even though the certain items I mentioned in my first post are lit up and appear active, the buttons are not responsive to the mouse. When I close Sonar and reopen, all appears normal again.
