I haven't read all answers so apologies if I'm repeating info..

Hit windows key
Type OSK
Use scroll lock key in the graphic there.

That should sort it.

I think ctrl + pause is a shortcut as well but that sseems to only work on my wireless keyboard not my laptop.

HTH

That option I was talking about is in the Track View, under Options>Click Behavior, and I guess you would un-check the option that says Left Click Locks Scroll so that it would start scrolling again.

Give it a shot and let me know if that works for you

Thanks,

There was also this: "To Enable/Disable Auto Scroll Lock: Click the Track view Options menu, point to Click Behavior and choose Left Click Locks Scroll on the submenu"


Any help?

Those only work in the TV not the PRV. I've spent all morning trying everyting the PDF manual says and searching the net for a workaround and so far nothing works for me.
 
FBB - Thanks but see original post.
 
 
I did send a report to Cakewalk so they may have an answer at some point.

Would you like me to SEND you a keyboard?

I'm out of gas on what to do with this.  It'll still percolate in my head and I'll circle back to it in a bit and see if my brain figures anything out while I'm gone.

On the Logitech illuminated keyboard you do have scroll lock its FN +pause/break.

Here is the help on this.

Now if this is not the keyboard you have you may still find that a key combination will work.  

heres your problem
i may repeat it a few times so bare with me.
when you make an edit in the prv while playback is moving,by default the prv will stop scrolling.
its not a scroll key,nor a shortcut,,there isnt one.
all you need to do to get it scrolling again is right click in the prv timeline,anywhere will do(only in the prv timeline)
to reitirate:
 
try right clicking in the PRV quick zoom area.
in the timeline area...

when making edits in the prv when the prv is in motion(playback)
the prv will stop scrolling by default.

to restart the prv(start scrolling again):
simply right click in the timeline area of the PRV.
i prefer the quick zoom area because this way it doesnt bring the right click menu up and i dont have to get rid of the RC menu.

sorry if i havent read all the posts here,i just skimmed them.
but i think this may be what your talking about.

on my laptop it's on the f12 key as "scr lk" *BUT* to access it on the acer you have to hit the "FN" key also..

suprised it's not on more kb's as it's part of old school terminal emulation e.g. vt100 onward etc surely ?

I think it is on all PC keyboards. Its just sometimes not a single key. If you don't know what the key combo is to get it it looks as if you don't have it.

HEY STEVE!!!!!

Did you try out the stuff in ChukeBaby's post?????????

Could THIS be your birthday pony ride?

Could HE be your Night in Shining Under Armor?

It would be great to see this solve your nightmare with this.

heres your problem... 

Thanks to all your efforts fellow Sonar forum members! It's appreciated greatly.
 
However, none of these work arounds work for me.
 
Not to worry though, because I DID find a partial solution.
 
I downloaded KeyTweak KB remapper and reassigned my "play" key to scroll lock.
 
Now I can turn PRV scrolling on and off but editing notes no longer freezes the screen. I have to hit the scroll lock key to to do that now. Still it's a step forward.
 
 
Thanks again guys!
