1) I have an audio take (dialog for a movie) which is split into many different clips in Sonar.  When I draw envelope points in one of the clips, these points get copied to the edge of all the subsequent clips from that take. I have gone about erasing these as I come upon them, but, for a feature length film with a lot of dialog editing, there are hundreds of these envelope points.  I do not know if this is a problem in terms of efficiency or not, but it sure is a visual mess.

2) With my control surface attached and the console view in its own window, the height of the window does not compensate for the bank group indicators on the bottom of the faders and so the very tops of the channels get cut off.
3) When initiating V-Vocal on a region, the underlying original clip does not get muted making it impossible to work with it.
4) I have an instrument folder as the last track on the screen.  On startup of this project, the synth track in that folder is unchecked in the track manager.  I have to go into the track manager at the beginning of each session and re-enable the track regardless of how the project is saved (with that track checked or not).
5) If a project is saved with the track set to "Clip Gain Automation", the setting remains on the restart of the computer but the tools do not work.  The track has to be set to another mode and then back to Clip Gain to get it to work.
6) On startup, some track folders show a "-" in the track title but are not expanded.  A click on it will convert it to "+" and then it can be hit to expand the folder.
7) As mentioned in another thread, I could not get the automation to work for the ProChannel EQ (Enable).  It will work if that track is selected and the Inspector is showing its ProChannel.  Otherwise, the automation will not work.  It will not render even if the Inspector is open.

Well, Item 7 was noted as an open issue.  I ended up using a different EQ (I do like the fly-out graphics of the pro-channel EQ).
 
No-one has a workaround for the other issues?  No answer from tech support in the last couple of weeks.  I have found a few more but am working around them.  I guess I need a provocative post title.

I reported this a while back.
 
For item 1, that's probably going to depend on steps you took up to the point of adding the automation. You'll want to try to recreate tha tin the simplest possible way, and enter formal report:

Other items should be reported the same way, including the one I reported. Squeaky wheel gets the grease in development. The more users report something, the likelier it is to get fixed.

3) I haven't used VVocal in X3 simply due to having Melodyne Editor, but I thought I had read somewhere around here that when using VVocal, the original clip was no longer copied and then muted?    When using VVocal as a Region FX, do you actually get that second clip?
 
5) I haven't seen that one - is the Clip Gain still red (vs ghosted) and just not "selectable"?
 

I wonder if the automation shown and the mess it has created is due to it being invoked as clip automation instead of track automation.
