Could anybody please reproduce?
 
Firstly you need to turn on autozoom.


If I SHIFT+double-click a clip it is supposed to "Maximize track height":

For me it just shows the track on its own but does not fill the screen as advertised.
 
I'm not sure why autozoom should interfere. Can people confirm the behaviour?

Thanks

AFAIK, track height zoom behavior should change when AutoZoom is enabled.   The in-focus track (AutoZoomed) is supposed to use its current height, as will the next track when it's selected, and so on.  Meanwhile, all other tracks use whatever the current non-AutoZoom track height it.   Attempting to maxiize by using a clip in another track would conflict with that behavior.
 
I'm guessing without AutoZoom enabled it does what you were expecting?
 

When AutoZoom is enabled, the double click to maximize doesn't work. It hasn't since they introduced AutoZoom.
 
To maximize the track height, turn off AutoZoom and double click the track.
 
I believe the help document you link to was created prior to AutoZoom.

I assume yes then it is reproducable. Yes I know what happens with autozoom on otherwise I would not have specified it :) But what is the documented behaviour with it on? I assume this is flagged under 'nobody knows'. Cheers..

IMHO, AutoZoom behavior is well documented. It could always be better documented.
 

To specify the default Auto Zoom track height
Resize the current track.

This is on the same page you linked to above. 
 
 

Ha;),I'm not asking about autozoom! I'm talking about shift double click with autozoom on... As per original post :) Non documented behavior? Or broken... I am assuming... Cheers... Apols for confusion...

Logged... CWBRN-22660 ->

Autozoom seems to interfere with a LOT of zoom functionality.

If certain functionality with autozoom isn't supposed to work "by design" because it is incompatible with autozoom then it should not work at all, maybe instead have a popup (like engine stopped) saying the feature is disabled. Right now it gives the perception that Sonar is buggy when zooming because it does something (and does what is perceived to be the wrong thing generally).

On the other hand, if it could work with autozoom enabled it should be fixed.

Here is just one example (maybe QA can go through all the scenarios):

It just shows the track on its own but does not fill the screen as advertised. Is this the documented behaviour in this scenario?

Alex, on this page: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation/default.aspx?Doc=SONAR X2&Lang=EN&Req=Introduction.24.html#1294719
 
it includes this:
 
"Note: When Auto Zoom is enabled, it is not possible to resize individual tracks. All non-focused tracks always have the same track height. If a non-focused track is resized, all others resize with it. All Minimize Strip and Restore Strip buttons are also hidden."
 
IMHO this would indicate that you can't maximize one track or you'd be maximizing all tracks, which is something you cannot do.
 

Fair enough, but this still begs the question though.... why is that button doing anything at all with auto zoom enabled... it should be totally disabled in my opinion, with a warning message for those of us wondering what happened (bit like Hey you got the numlock key pressed).
 
Cheers...
