Switching project tabs sets project [modified]

[hamish]

This is costing me a lot of time when I am working on, typically 5-8 projects concurrently.

Make edits in tab/project 1, save, go to tab/project 2 make edits, etc. Return to tab/project 1 and it's state is [modified]. Except that it never was.

I can't find any option for this in Preferences.

This Nitpick or Bug occurs when switching tabs between projects when there is an open FX Chain Window - see below posts 7,8 and 9

I have tried a few combinations of Preferences > Plug-ins > (various FX windows check boxes) but still no luck.

humm, it works as expected here, tab/project#1 is unchanged...
what is the last undo point name you can see in the "[modified]" project#1? also, what are your OS and REAPER version?

I'm using portable installs on win 7, Jeffos.

I'm looking at the problem now and I see that the last two listed undo events seem to get duplicated, with an updated time.

I am using mainly 4.71, but I've had the problem for a while. I just went back and found the problem is the same in 4.32 for example.

I made a fresh local install of v4.71 on windows 7 OS and get the [modified] behaviour that I'm talking about.

Only an empty project tab is not affected.

Any tab with a project gets [modified] set in the Title. Sometimes there is a spurious Undo History entry, sometimes none.

On my usual config, v4.71 portable which I run out of a folder on my desktop the [modified] problem is NOT occuring with newly created projects that have tracks only, not tested with media items.

Set of 3 tabs with fresh simple projects - tracks and media items, no plugins is working OK.
