I believe the closed folder issue is either fixed or being fixed.

But ... does that mean TV and PRV will be independent views and not locked to being the same selection of which tracks are hidden and visible?

I don't know, I assume they touch different parts of the program. But as I mentioned in the other thread where you're posting about the same issue, perhaps this will make it possible to put all your MIDI tracks in a track folder so you don't see them in TV, but you'd still see them in the PRV. And if you did want to see the MIDI tracks in TV, you could just unfold the folder.

The thing I don't like about the new PRV is having the MSR buttons in the middle of the track pane. Showing them takes up too much work space.

 
The old way had the MSR buttons first so the rest of the track pane could be hidden showing more notes.

I agree ... new way is a work flow downer, especially if you can't resize the name box.

Me sticking with 2017.01 until all of this is sorted out.
 
---------------------
Most concerning and the biggest deal breaker and absolute impossibility for me
is the way TV and PRV are now linked as to what is able to be Hidden and Unhidden.
 
I believe absolute independence between TV and PRV is essential.

Loosing the absolute independence between TV and PRV would set my work flow back to the stone age.
I see no new feature that outweighs this long standing previous to 2017.03 given essential.

I agree, Cakewalk please move the MSR buttons all the way to the left.  Thank You  

Sure, putting the MSR stacked under the edit buttons doubles the vertical space of each track strip but I never have that many loaded anyway.
 
The R button isn't really necessary for me (never use it in PRV) but the MS and edit buttons are essential.

Even with 20 or more loaded I'd rather have the double high space than loose the horizontal realestate in the middle where we see the notes.

I'm amazed that the R button is included. I had assumed that when people said "MSR" they really meant just "MS".

I record all midi in PRV and have been doing so since before Sonar 4.
