I just updated to the latest version of Sonar and the delete key on my keyboard no longer deletes a highlighted clip in Sonar.  Am I missing anything?

Del key works as expected here, on audio clips, midi clips, prv notes

You may have a lens that has limited keybindings as a feature operative.

Same here since the last update, I've tried Keyboard shortcuts / key bindings but no luck

can you both share some details ? This might help us narrow down some similarity's between systems
(Example: a windows theme, Language, OS Type)

The Fix is: Preferences / Keyboard shortcuts / use Locate Key / press delete on keyboard/ then choose Delete on drop down menu. Then apply. For some strange reason this keyboard shortcut was removed with the latest update. Simple fix

It has to be system specific because I still have full control of my Delete key.
There were a few others who also complained of losing the "M" key (Marker shortcut).
That's why I was asking about sharing some details. It may help others as well as Cakewalk narrow down a problem.

I posted this on the Problems section, with little response.  Now it appears it's happened to at least three of us.  Yes, the cure is to re-bind it - even though in the key bindings window it says it says it IS bound.  I also had the same with "I" for Inspector.  "M" was ok.
 
I would add that I'm not a 'system tinkerer' - my W10 64 bit system has been unchanged for months, nay, years except for moving from W7 to W10, and the only variables in my case are W10 updates and Sonar updates.
 
Cakewalk - can you take note please?  I don't think a blip like this should be taken lightly. Could be an indication of something more serious festering away in the code?  I'm a bit peeved that we often see pledges by CW to concentrate for the time being on fixing things, only to find a new cockup appears which itself needs fixing in a later release.

Nope, at least 4 of us !

Happened to me as well, will try re-assigning the key stroke later.
