I had the now time marker stuck around measure 1, no amount of starting and stopping play or clicking anywhere would get it to track the audio.  I shut SONAR down and restarted and have not seen it or been able to duplicate it since.

Hope this is going to be fixed in the next patch, as its getting really annoying. Having to restart X2 to bring the the now time line back!
 
Not sure why this topic is marked as solved? where is the fix/solution then?

Can anyone reproduce steps as mentioned in post #10 ?

If you're at Win 7, do indicate if your running Win 7 Aero or not.

Thanks!

YES! Post 10 steps render the line and marker invisible on my system too.
 
I seldom play with the windows that way so it's not usually an issue for me. However, it is a bug that should be fixed.
 
Any resizing of the windows will bring back the line as will re-docking the floating view so it does appear to be a graphics issue.

@Steve, thanks for confirming the issue. I have submitted the problem report.

@Keni, the original OP problem was solved. But some of us experienced random Now Time missing. I discovered a way to make Now Time missing (due to one of my X1 project was saved with the Console window on top), but not sure if it's related to the OP.

At any rate, if your Now Time Line disappears, the solution seems to be re-docking or re-sizing any window or even changing to another screenset to get it back. AND... don't save your project with a maximized view over the main view.

any update on this?

This happens to me on a semi-regular basis.  PITA.  Hope it's resolved soon.

I find that closing and opening the track inspector (press I twice) brings it back.

Old thread, but should not be marked as SOLVED.  This is a current bug.  Just happened to me, and happens randomly when switching back to track view from piano roll.

Yep the same just happened here, although it has done it intermittently in the past, now it seems like fixed behaviour - scroll bar is visible when playback is started but when the music goes beyond the edge of the clips view pane, the scroll bar disappears. I have disabled the "click" options as well, makes no difference.

The screen will also stop scrolling if editing while playing. To resume scrolling after editing, right-click on the time ruler.

Not solved. It's listed as a fix in X2a - "Now Time in X2 can disappear under certain conditions" but still randomly disappears on me and only closing and reopening the project will bring it back. Some seem to have success with toggling the inspector (I) to get it back.
 
 

Still not solved. Sonar Studio X3c, Dell Inspiron 7737 with Intel HD graphics, win 8.1. Now Time cursor desappears from time to time, not very often though. I have to reopen the project in order to get it back.

This happened so frequently with X2 that I decided to stop using it altogether. I hadn't been making much music anymore but decided to give it another go and so I bought X2 (shortly before X3 was released unfortunately) and an upgrade from Sonar 8.5 Producer. Obviously it takes some time to get used to the new version but I really got so annoyed by the Now time that went missing everytime, that at one moment I simply closed X2 and decided to spend my time more useful and forget about making music with it.
 
This week I thought about installing X2 again but I immediately thought about this bug so I considered upgrading to X3 (even though that would be a waste of money spend on X2). But now I read X3 also has this problem. I think that if I am going to make music again, I will install S 8.5 instead... I think this also has to do with me getting a bit older and sick and tired of learning new things everytime LOL
