Two bugs still at 2.5, non-crucial

[mrelwood]

For the first time I have dropped from the speedy bandwagon. I've been along since way before Reaper 1.0, and I've never before had a situation where I wasn't learning every new feature within two weeks. Too much too soon, can't keep up! Anyway, two small bugs, just for polishing the final gloss.

1) When copying a plugin to another track, the plugin placement at the original track changes even when mouse is moved outside the plugin window.
When copying, plugin rarely wants to be moved at the same time, so it should stay in place or atleast jump back to the original position when releasing the mouse button.

2) When moving an audio event to the track below while playing, the audio will play loud for a few seconds (duplicate positions, both track meters active). If moving to a track above, audio will be muted for the same few seconds. This happens both inside folders and in just normal tracks.

yeah, this is a bad one. happens on windows too.

SOLVED

Hold Control (or command on the mac) to prevent it from moving..

Wow, never thought of a solution as simple as that. Thanks!

I found a new bug in 2.51. If the master track is enabled while quitting, the next time Reaper is opened the master track will be "detached" and located outside or behind the view. I got it to show when resizing tracks (Command+Alt+mouse scroll). The space of the master track still exists but is now blank. Hiding master track and bringing it back makes it normal again.

Problem #2 (gaps or overlaps when moving event to another track) still persist in 2.51. What I realized is that the amount of overlap is related to delay compensation. If the two tracks have the same plugins (or none), there are no breaks or overlaps. The breaks ofcourse do not matter that much, but the overlap is something I think should be avoided.

Two little bugs related to track name input.

1) Pressing tab when in the track name field doesn't do anything. In Reaper for Windows tab moves to edit the next track's name. This is a very handy feature, I miss it.

2) When typing a track name that's longer than the visible field, the last letters are not shown while typing. They usually are in such situations, and they are on Reaper for Windows.
