Double-clicking MCP not adding track correctly (FIXED)

lum · 01-12-2012, 04:47 PM

Hi,

I am viewing the mixer.
I have compacted the folders in my mix.

I am just viewing a nice overview of the top level busses:
"DRUM BUS", "INST BUS", "VOX BUS", etc.

Now if I click on the "empty space" to the right of the mixer channels, which should insert a track at the end of the channel list:

It inserts it .. elsewhere!

The current track highlight/selection does not seem to matter: even if I have selected the INST BUS, and then double click in the blank space, it might insert the track into DRUM BUS.

It just needs to be reliable and insert it at the end.

Thanks for considering this bug!

I mentioned this bug in the thread for 5.0rc12, forgot about it, and just noticed that it's still there.

If you have a collapsed folder as the last visible track in the mixer, adding a new track by double-clicking the empty MCP space puts the new track in the folder, right after the parent, rather than outside the folder as you might expect. Double-clicking the TCP adds it at the end of the list as usual.

Seems to be the same in V4 FYI

Biiiiig badness about that last bug in there... can really mess with audio routing causing potentially dangerous sounds.

Confirmed (if collapsed in MCP). (5.20pre21)

Confirmed (5.18 x64).

Wow, I didn't realize it was that old. Obviously I reported it in the other thread: http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=165423 but it never seems to get any love.

Bump... AGAIN... 5.22pre3 and it's still happening. Come on guys, it's a pretty easy fix.

Pasting my description from above:

If you have a collapsed folder as the last visible track in the mixer, adding a new track by double-clicking the empty MCP space puts the new track in the folder, right after the parent, rather than outside the folder as you might expect. Double-clicking the TCP adds it at the end of the list as usual. Here, have a picture:

Bump for 5.28. Still no worky.

Is it worth mentioning the same thing appears to be happening in the Track editor view? Click for a new track below the list of existing tracks and regardless it adds the new track next to whichever track currently has focus.
Once you are used to it, no big deal, but not exactly intuitive behaviour now I think of it.
