CowboyDan: This mistake you're making is a strawman fallacy. You've taken my argument (that all forums should allow the most basic functions) and re-characterizing my argument as 'all forums should work exactly the same way'. Of course, I am not saying all forums should work exactly the same way apart from BASIC functions. A better analogy is this, 'All functioning cars should have wheels'. This is objectively true. If you sell a car without wheels, you can't get annoyed if your potential car-buyers complain when they're expecting a car they can drive around. A forum without the option to have carriage returns is a forum, yes, but it's a crappy forum worse than Prodigy on a Windows 3.1 system. Honestly, I didn't come here to be forum critic, but because my Sonar X2 is unusable to me and I have a broken forum to seek help. It's insult to injury. But, it would be remiss of me not to speak up about how gawd-awful this forum is. I can't even type in away that makes my posts readable, due to the ridiculous lack of a carriage-return.

I'm still a little confused by how you are using the step sequencer. Are you just using it to input steps via the qwerty? If that is the case it works here okay including the enter key.

If you are step recording in it.......... I've never used it that way with the qwerty and didn't even know it was possible. How is note entry number controlled by the qwerty while step recording in the step sequencer?

No one can argue that the forum software is great or even good.  To be frank it sucks. However, its shortcomings can be overcome by using an older version of Firefox. I use 3.5 to post on this forum.

If that is not something you wish to use Chrome will work well enough but not perfectly.

Step recording is from all that I know not a part of the Step Sequencer. There are good instructions in the help file for both. They are meant to do different things if that is what you are having problems with.

On FF 5.1 at home and Safari (iPad) when travelling. Just install the FF and turn ogg automatic upgrades. 

No problems what so ever. You don't always HAVE to have the latest version of every thing, no ?

Cheers,

I really feel for the OP - it's never a good thing when one is having a hard time with their DAW of choice. I sincerely hope they can get it fixed. I would recommend calling technical support to see if they can help.
OTOH, am I only one who detects a note of cognitive dissonance? The OP Is willing to trade Sonar for a different DAW at the first sign of problems but they won't patch/change browsers to be able to make a post that's readable?
Good luck, NukleoN, hope you get your technical problems ironed out.

@CowboyDan: I've been on the Internet since before there was an Internet....
 
 
 
 
This might be one of the reasons. You've got a lot of people trying to help you, but it seems to me that you don't want help. (I will not do an add-on in Firefox, I will not go to an earlier version,) What I am trying to say is it all boils down to YOU .

This forum doesn't make everyone HAPPY. Sure there are things to improve, But thats with everything in life. As long as YOU want to help make it better.
 
I only notice all the complaining coming out of your feeds.
 
A car should have 4 wheels. My car has 5. One spare.
 
As to your message ,You are the one using your computer. Maybe a wheel fell off when you took the last corner.
It could be that your keyboard has changed in your computer. That happens to me also sometimes. Since you were on the internet before there was an internet you should know this.
 
Lighten up and listen to some of your friends on the forum.

Everytime you hit return in FF, also type

Sucks yes. I'm used to it cause I'm a web developer haha

It is possible to step record in the step sequencer but only with a MIDI controller AFAIK, not using the qwerty . That's why I'm a little confused. The qwerty can be used with the step sequencer (not in step record mode) and it works fine here including the enter key.

Perhaps the OP means step record as opposed to step record in the step sequencer?

FBB, I use either a MIDI controller or the mouse I can't recall ever trying to use my computer keyboard for any of that.

@funkybot: I've ran into something similar after all, but worse. I couldn't get it to display at all. Can't reproduce though.
