Bug: mouse modifier marquee bug (FIXED)

[Thonex]

Hi gents,

This has been confirmed by multiple other friends on both Mac and PC.

When you open multiple items in the MIDI Editor and try to left-click/drag marquee notes outside of the focused item, the mouse will not allow it. No matter how you have the prefs set. Secondary items editable etc., all options tried. Please... before you say I don't have the mouse modifiers set correctly, this was verified by other as well... not just me.

This short video demonstrates it best. 100% reproducible:

Here are my MIDI Editor Prefs (no difference when I set "Selection is linked to editable" or not. :





Here is the mouse modifier for the Piano Roll (note that the MIDI Editor Mouse modifiers doesn't have left-click/drag ans an option):




I cannot see how this could be viewed "as designed".

Yep, I was one of the guys who checked and can confirm this behavior. A fix would be great.

I'm sorry to ask something irrelevant to this topic, but how did you get the midi cc's to display in points instead of bars?

Assuming you're looking for the different midi note display modes (rectangles, triangles, diamonds):

• MIDI editor menu: View > Piano roll notes
• Action List > [MIDI Editor] section: Search for the "View: Show events as ..." Actions

Thanks! But I'm not talking about Midi notes but midi CC's, you see in his demonstration video his midi CC's are displayed in points instead of bars

Probably because he's using a pre-release version of REAPER, their adding/changing things in the ME.

If you do, I'd suggest selecting "Portable Install" in the installer and install it to its own folder for testing only.
