No Wonder My Eyes Have So Much Trouble In PRV/ Keys and Grid Continually Un-Aligned

Of...
 
just posting here as I don't think I posted this before (here) but I believe others must have. I was shown the work around by others...
 
When I open the PRV, the keys and grid are almost never aligned anymore. It used to be occasional/rare), but now it's constant.
 
Simply forcing a zoom and back will re-align it but this must be done ever time it is opened.
 
I hope this is already getting attention?
 
Thanks.

Thanks for the report Keni. Would you mind sharing a screenshot, and maybe even sending us a project file please? Having difficulty reproducing it here.

Thanks guys...

I'll do my best to get a screen shot today. Every project has this issue. I will create a bare bones and send that as well.

I'm surprised you guys didn't know about this as so many chimed in when I posted about it way back...

I believe I'm using standard font. I have never changed it. I use a very high resolution I think 2560x1600 or some such, but I've used that for years now and this didn't begin until a few months back.

I have some time issues today but will do this at some point. Which address should I send these things to?

Thanks for looking into this!

I get the same issue here too Keni. The next time it happens, which will probably be soon, I'll post a picture.

Funny, I worked with Sonar all day today and it never happened!  I'm on 2017.02.

Magically fixed? I don't believe in magic.

who was it who said "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."?

Okay, it happened again! Here's a screenshot. This is a fairly simple drum map but the offset is quite dramatic!
 

Things aren't always as simple as seems.

The Bakers have taken note of this and are proceeding to rectify if not already done. For some strange reason I suddenly can't get it to happen?

It's not "back", it never left.  This has been an issue for more than two years!  I wish they would make fixing this a higher priority.

Thanks Matt...
 
I didn't think it was gone, just that I ran into a time period of not seeing it. Originally it was very occassional, then it became all the time, then it went away... so it finally happened again and I remembered to grab a screenshot... ;-)
 
As we know the Bakers are aware of this and working on it. I'm sure it will be fixed asap....
 

In addition to the information Lance is requesting, it will be helpful if you identify what graphics card and driver version you are using. Since this is a UI issue that is not affecting everyone, it's possible the graphics driver is at fault.

At least for me it always happens when double clicking an existing MIDI clip.  Sometimes that clip came from a MIDI file, sometimes I recorded it, sometimes I dragged it from a VST that has a droppable MIDI option (Ad.Drums2/Kontakt/EzDrummer2).  But I don't remember it happening when opening on an empty MIDI track/new MIDI track.  I usually have a snap setting on but it doesn't seem related.  My view settings match Keni's but I don't think that's the key.
 
I do have a very large 4k monitor running at 4096x2160 (yes real 4k) with an nVidia 980ti and near constant driver updates (part of why I'm sure it has nothing to do with video card drivers).  My average PRV is very large (I run SONAR fully maximized).
 
I do think I've seen this more often when the MIDI track in question is being opened in the PRV the first time, ie when SONAR has to decide what level of zoom to put the window at.  If I open an empty PRV and record/edit there, with future opens I don't remember seeing things get off.  The early versions of this bug almost always involved drag-n-dropped MIDI clips.
 
It's very difficult to reproduce though.  There isn't a step by step that does it, believe me I've tried.  The last two releases of SONAR I haven't seen it(last two: 2017.03 and 2017.04 early release, I update the moment new ones come out. 2017.01 and 2017.02 it was very common for me), but I've been doing a lot less music.  It could very well have something to do with the trackview that launches the piano roll, it's snap/zoom/view settings?  I've had projects that would show it on load and double click the MIDI clip but exiting SONAR and restarting it wouldn't happen again.
 
If I were to try and reproduce this, I'd most likely take a (big)collection of short-to-medium MIDI clips and start dropping them on new MIDI tracks and then opening them in the piano roll view until it happens.
 
It might be easier to look at how the keyboard part and the lane part are connected in the code and work backwards.  The two are offset/disconnected when this happens, how could that view state happen?
