The case of the missing Control Bar

Anyone else experiencing a control bar that turns black and has numbers on it.  Necessary to close out of x1 and restart X1 at which point it's there again ?

Thanks for your fast reply. With all due respect, i was thinking more along the lines of a bug of some sort.  Thanks again.

Hi Rasure, fancy meeting you here again today.  It just happens.  It's happened a bunch o times since the inception of X1.  All of a sudden I look up and its gone.  But thats all thats gone.  all the other GUI is intact.  Thats why i'm thinking it's in the software.  Not sure how force it's duplication though.  Thanks for checking in on this one.  I appreciate your help.

Don't know if this relates, but I was having a variety of weird graphic problems once with certain parts of only a couple programs. It drove me crazy until I found out there was an updated driver for my graphics card. Once I installed that, the mysterious problems went away.

Thanks.  I was beginning to think I was alone in this situation lol

Occasionally when I minimize X1 and use other apps then bring X1 back in focus the Control View is blank except for the now time. To bring the CV back I can grab the right edge of X1 and shrink it a small amount and the CV returns immediately.
 
I had this issue before with another app and it seemed to point to an issue with the Sidebar in Vista but I'm not sure this is the cause of this issue.
 
Edit: I have applied the X1a update but still experience the issue.
 

I've reported back to Cakewalk that the problem still exists in X1a.

I can confirm the problem still exists on my system.  It's not an NVIDIA video card issue either, as I pulled my NVIDIA GTS450 and put in an ATI HD4850 to see.  If I minimize Sonar, then go back to it later the Control Bar is gone.  Right click in the area where the Contorl Bar is to undock then redock it and it returns.

Same here.  Minimize it, reopen, it's gone with exception to the numerical display.
Necessary to shut sonar down, restart sonar.
 
Should would like this one fixed.
 
BTW,,  It's intermittent.

Your signature details are out of date: "Sonar 7.02 PE"?!?

I just installed X1b's hotfix build 255 and now I have this issue.  I either have to restart X1 or undock the control bar.  Any signs of this getting fixed in X1c?

I read through the changes and it doesn't say anything about this problem.
 
I still have to mess around with the control bar - in fact it has got worse than it was. I used to be able to "flick" it down a little bit and it would come back from the dead but now I have to drag it to my second monitor and then drag it back and it then works.
It's not very "pro"!
 
And there doesn't appear to be any info on 64 bit rewire so the only thing that makes me happy is the dual snap function.
 
Grum.

I think this was listed in the 1st x1 patch.  I still have the same issue.  I just learned to live with it.  Almost does not bother me any longer.  It's pretty intermittent as well.  I'd have to walk away from the system for hours then undock it, redock it and i'm back in action. 
 
Good Luck
 

Bub, You have this bug every couple of minutes, and you also have the Pro Channel problem?  Man, you must be frustrated.

Happens to me every couple of minutes.

It could be that you are internetting and Sonaring. The control bar doesn't like this. In fact it is the cause of my control bar problem.
 
Grum. 

I haven't had it happen for a while unless I have Sonar minimized and then the screen saver comes on.  What usually works it to right click in the space it should be select Float control bar, then when it comes up Right click it again to dock back at the top or drag it into place.
