  • A simple request: Proper scroll function in the Inspector.

Well this is just great. For some reason my Pro Channel Inspector refuses to scroll so I can't get at all the modules without collapsing other modules. The usual undocking and resizing workaround isn't working either. We need a scrollbar on this thing. Not very happy right now.

grr...

scrolls fine in X2a, just loaded a bunch of modules to test it.

Mine scrolls without having to undock it.

The PC usually scrolls for me but it has stopped working. The other Inspector tabs have never scrolled for me though but the only thing that gets cut off are the Gain knobs so it's not a big deal. However because X2 does not seem to like the scroll wheel on my trackball (makes things jerky and inaccurate) just having a scrollbar would benefit me very much.

Actually after poking around a bit it seems this project is starting to reject my scroll wheel almost completely. Gonna try a reboot to see if that helps. If not then I'll pull out a mouse. Maybe it's the trackball itself. 

However the point remains... there should be a scrollbar and all the Inspector elements should scroll.

Blern... I was actually getting some work done.

Ugh... the mouse is scrolling. Now I've got to leave it hooked up if I want to scroll. I hate mice.

Scroll bar please.

Sometimes using Sonar seems to screw up my scroll wheel system wide - scrolling is painful slow in my browser until I reboot. 

Beepster it sounds like this is one of the weird screwy things that accumulate in projects over time. I've had projects become corrupted in little ways like this too.

I have one project which has had to be rebuilt from the keel upwards twice!

Once in X1 and again in X2.

For now it seems to be behaving ok - but we have only just started tracking vocals on it - that's always a good test what with V-Vocal & Layers etc

@sharke... Yeah, I'm starting to notice that as I move forward with stuff X2 becomes quirkier and quirkier. It's rather bothersome in the writing phase because I'm recording LOTS of different takes to flesh out the songs. I'd like to keep those projects as foundations for the final version but I fear they might be far too bugged out by the time I get to that point.

This however seems to be a conflict with my trackball which is a real shame. I need it for precise editing. My hands are too big and trained for other finite functions (like playing actual music) to use a mouse with any kind of accuracy.

Seriously... I HATE mice.

Every other Windows based program out there has a scrollbar for anything that requires scrolling. Aside from aesthetics I have no idea why Cake would not do this for such a crucial part of the program. From what I understand you actually had to pay for X1 Expanded to even get scrolling functionality in the Inspector. That... is not cool.

Anyway, I've got a mouse hooked up now cluttering up my desk. It will only be used to scroll the PC. Ugh...

That is not what I like to hear. Oh well. Maybe I'd better move on getting Reaper installed so I can do all the fancy stuff in X2 then let Reaper handle the big boy stuff. Can't afford to lose material.

I'd better stop thinking about this. Starting to go all darkside... and that ain't good for no one.

Cheers and thanks for listening to me moan.

But it's just this one project.

All the others seem to be ok, even those that were originally started way back in 6PE!
