Default Should not Volume envelope level change with volume automation...? (SOLVED)

I *think* this used to work as expected, but I am not sure...

If I have volume automation envelope on a track, the reported dB should show the actual dB value as the play bar progresses. This does currently (v4.731) not happen. The reported dB value is fixed on the value where playing started.

However, if I move the play cursor by clicking, the reported value updates as I expect it.

Is it me, or did something change along the Reaper updates?

What I'm talking about is this:



Here you see that as I manually change the play cursor, the reported volume values change from -9.87dB to -3.53dB to +1.28dB. But if Reaper plays the reported values do not change, even though the actual output volume does change.

? You've got it in "Trim/Read" mode ("envelopes are active but faders are all for trim"), change that to "Read":

Hm... I must confess I never really understood all those different modes. But, yes, you are right of course. In read mode it works as I expect it.

Thanks.

Now I wonder why I thought that previously that readout changed when playing even in (the default) Trim/Read mode. It never did, did it?
