No, it isn't.

It is only a guess
 
SONAR stores data about the views in the registry. I have no idea what the key is to the virtual controller view data but it may be one of the values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cakewalk Music Software\SONAR\Platinum\View Data.
 
If this is the case, a simple re-install would not touch this part of the registry. It would take a clean install.
 
There is a way to set some registry values back to their factory settings but I do not believe it will fix this issue. The repersonalization process overwrites the setup files in the user folder and resets some registry values (not sure exactly which ones though). To run it:

• Right-click on SONAR to open the context menu
• While holding the CTRL key click Open
• The repersonalization dialog should appear. Click OK to start the process. The repersonalization dialog often hides under other windows if there are any on the screen.

This used to be a recommended step before a reinstall before Cakewalk starting publishing the clean install instructions. Clean installs are pretty quick.
 
It is not clear if the monitor switch occurred immediately after the crash. If so, maybe switching the monitors back to the setup before the crash, opening the virtual keyboard and closing a project may restore its size.

No, the monitor switch was a day or more after the crash, I think.  I wanted something larger (old age, bad eyes), but there was a bit of lag that made the now time not be accurate while running Sonar and other issues that made me decide to go back to my 27" monitor.
 
I believe it was the day after the crash, with the 4k tv still up, that the vk issue occured.
 
Thanks for your suggestions; I will look at the registry.

I looked on my two computers running SPlat and neither of them have a View Data branch.
 
Just BTW, I used to set the Windows Display Scaling to 125% (again, bad eyes). I stopped doing that when I bought Mixbus 32C because I couldn't get the whole GUI on the screen any other way.  But after going back to 100% I notice some windows either won't stay at the size I set them or they open in places on the screen that I don't want and no amount of moving them will make them open where I put them.  Somehow, I feel this has something to do with my screen issues, but Sonar seems fine in every respect other than the vk.  I would do a fresh install of the entire computer, but there's so much software and so many plugins, it would take forever and be a nightmare.
 
Thanks again.

 
I didn't do anything but look in the registry (didn't change anything); check the scaling percentage; open Mixbus 32C just to see if everything was as it should be (it was).  Then I opened SPlat, entered the key command and the damned thing was back the way it's supposed to be.  Very bizarre. Since I didn't fix it, it'll likely break again at random, but we'll deal with that when it happens.
 
Thanks to all who offered suggestions!
