Here's a bug I found in 5.3 that still exists in 5.50rc22

Open the MIDI editor, dock the editor, enable step recording.

Step recording doesn't appear to work when the editor is docked.

I'm using Windows 10.

I'm using Sforzando. Maybe that's a factor? Except for configuring my audio and MIDI devices, I'm using Reaper5.50rc22 64bit, out of the box (in a portable install) The problem exists whether I load an .sfz file into Sforzando or not, so it's easy to test.

EDIT: Confirmed. This does not happen if I don't first load Sforzando onto my track. Now what? Can this somehow be a Sforzando bug in Reaper? Or a bug that Reaper has with Sforzando? I'm not sure where the fix would have to occur.

Sounds interesting. Any hints, what exactly that means?

Someone promised to kiss Justin's feet. I think we'll have 5.50 once they do.

Hi Justin,

I am using the inline midi editor as a step-sequencer (RS5K + some scripts).

When I want to duplicate a midi-item my settings are reset. Same thing when I use the undo function.
Can you improve it?

I recorded a short video (no sound):

Which settings ?

Is this the thing I suggested ages ago? How do I set the focus so the single-send window always pops up with the mouse cursor directly over the volume fader knob?

Also, is it possible to make the Routing (multi-send) window resizeable? At least vertically, but a magic horizontal/vertical thing like the Media Item Properties window would be great.

+1 for this. It is quite annoying when working on multichannel works.

Ooooh, if we're updating the routing window I'd love the option of vertical faders for the sends!

Ubuntu 16.04 here, Reaper 5.50rc22 won't launch/start from GUI, terminal gives me this:

reaper5: command not found

Here's what I see in desktop:

err, that's because terminal doesn't have current directory in $PATH.
try navigating to that very directory in terminal and run

let me rephrase my last message.

when you launch `reaper5`, you look for a a program with this name in $PATH (it does not include current directory on Linux, but does on Windows).

when you launch `./reaper5`, you launch the program `reaper5` from the current directory.

I doubt very much that you have your desktop in your path, so no wonder why the first form does not work for you. but the second should.
