Super weird.  Busses are there, suddenly, no tracks.  They are NOT checked in the "Strips" drop down, but if I try, nothing happens.  All tracks are present in the track view.  Track manager shows them all checked as well.  Anyone help me out here?  I kind of need my tracks in the console!

Are the buses all the way to the left of the console? If so, click on the splitter bar to the left of the bus tracks, and drag to the right. That should reveal the tracks, assuming that's the problem.

Thanks. I tried that with no luck, but after saving and reopening, they popped back in.  Don't know what just happened there, but all is well now.  off to mix....

Glad it's fixed! My first line of defense with "weirdness" issues is close and re-open Sonar, which often solves Sonar issues. If that doesn't work I then re-boot the computer in case it's a Windows issue.

That's a bit weird.  I was able to have Tracks unchecked in the Strips drop-down, by pulling the buses all the way to the left, which then removed the check for Tracks in Strips, but when I then clicked on Tracks again, they all popped back into view and the check for Tracks remained.  All then is working at my end as expected.
 
Would you lose work if you closed the project without saving it first, and then opened it again?  (in case somehow it got 'confused')
 
Wish I had more to offer, it's never happened to me, and I don't know how to get into that predicament.

Rather than lose work, why not use the "Save As" function. Then changes will be saved and can be copied back to the original project.

Oh sure, USE your brain then :)
 
Thanks, Mr Cook.
