It appears there is a change from X2 that you have to have a lot more space between the end of the track name field and the end of the track header (or peak indicators and vertical meters) in order for the MSR and Echo buttons to be displayed on the top line. You can see all the wasted space to the right of the buttons in John's screenshot. X2 will fit them in with only a tiny bit of extra space needed.
 
Theses screenshots are from a new project saved from X3, and opened in X2:
 

 

 

that's because of the color picker at the beginning of the track, it stole about 20 pixels
edit - so, i didn't read all the posts... and just noticed the one before mine.  :/  lol.

X2 had less space for the track title than X1 or 8.5 (which was unlimited, I think).  How is the amount of title space in X3?

It's definitely as intended. There's not really any waste of space. There are just extra pixels on the left side for the color bar.

I guess you're right. It seemed when I first checked that I had to add much more length to the header to get the MSR buttons to show up, but I guess I was mistaken.
 
Carry on.

Same as X2, I think (see below). Was it unlimited in X1? I don't remember.
 

 

Slightly annoying when you multi out things like Addictive Drums. Until you rename them, of course.

Wow... I didn't think this thread would continue, but since it did I will throw in my two cents quick about the "bug" debate...
 
To me, this is a bug, since the header (which I never altered in any version of SONAR) in previous versions included those buttons. In X3, of course the left edge now has the ability to custom color the track (great enhancement), and it is about 20 pixels.... BUT... I only needed to scoot the right edge about 3 pixels to get the buttons back. So, I assume it was "accounted" for, but not correctly (i.e. the right edge WAS scooted automatically, but 3 pixels shy of the mark to make it transparent to casual users like myself).
 
The bigger concern for why I consider this a bug is even simpler... if a user opens up a piece of work from a previous version they spent hours (or more) to create and their first reaction is "Where is everything I had here??" That is VERY bad. Impressing the end user is good, shocking them is not so good.
 
As far as "criticality" of this bug... it is LOW, I agree, but I think it was not "intended."

I always use short names to minimize this. You could also change from Custom to one of the other views to show only what you really want to see.

C'mon, that is not a bug.
 
It's not even really a change in behaviour.
It's simply a change in the display header to accomodate added functionality ... and that's all it is.
And with that, comes the need to widen the divider if it's not already set wide enough to accomodate the new header format.
 
Is anything broken ?.
Sheesh, it's stretching things a bit beyond reality to interpret that as a bug.
 
What you got is extra functionality that users have been screaming for, that takes a little more horizontal space to display. Nothing more ... Nothing less :-)

I recall having to change the width of the track header in various versions to see buttons and widgets. It seems second nature with Sonar.
