I wonder if there would be any benefit to doing a 'Save As' of the project, immediately upon this situation showing up, with the project sent off to Cakewalk technical support for examination of the project file's internals.
I have not yet experienced this, but if I get some time this afternoon, I may try to pursue getting this to happen, so that I can try to 'catch' whatever is goofed up in the project.
The problem may be still difficult to capture, if it is something flaky that only show up in the loaded application's memory, and not in something actually saved with the project.
Nonetheless, if time permits, I will give it a shot.
I will go back through the thread to assemble a set of steps that will hopefully get me to where this might occur, then will save it and send if off.
