Your first 2 "bugs" both seem to be system specific and, these features are working for myself and other members
Who are these "lots of Sonar users who ditched it in favour of S1"?
All I see on the forum are increasing numbers of new users, almost on a daily basis
Thanks for checking the links. These 'other members' are mostly Producer and Studio users, aren't they? If some Essential user could post here and tell me these features do work fine in his Sonar, I'd immediately contact tech support (Cake themselves confirmed the first issue as a bug in the Essential version, as I mentioned in the thread).
As for the "system specific" assumption, my HP ProBook 4710s clears all requirements listed in the X2 Essential system requirements page (if T9600 is higher than E8200). So all the features in the X2 reference guide are supposed to work on my system.
http://www.cakewalk.com/p..cts/SONAR/X2-Essential/ The "lots of Sonar users who ditched it in favour of S1" statement was for X1, and has nothing to do with the current bugs in X2. I made it confusing. Sorry about that (don't go any further

).
BTW, I forgot to mention what I consider to be a major bug. The Colors option.
