Pencil Tool changing value of the entire envelope lane (FIXED)

Supersloth318 · 08-05-2021, 12:27 PM

I'm running v6.33 on windows 10.

Lately whenever I use the pencil tool in a specific area, say, to change the pre fx volume of a vocal line, it will latch onto the entire envelope and change the value of everything before and after the section that I'm drawing. I can't recall having changed any of my settings, nor can I find a way to change this behavior. It seems to have happened after the last update, but I'm not entirely certain.

Is the mouse down the whole time during that screencap?

What happens when you use the pencil modifier and click/release without moving the mouse?

The mouse is indeed held down the whole time. When I release the mouse, the whole envelope stays at the value where it is released. Or, if there is a point later in the timeline, it will create a straight segment from where it was released to that next point.

Here are captures of both scenarios..

It sorta looks like something is blocking the main thread. Do you have any scripts running? Does this happen in a brand new project with no fx?

Yes the issue happens with new projects with no fx inserted, and no active scripts.

The only thing I can recall changing anytime recently was my mouse modifiers for freehand drawing and inserting points. So, I imported a config from a few months ago, which had no differences of any significance, and the issue seems to have gone away, but upon reloading my current config, it comes back.

I implemented those mouse modifier changes in the old config and things are still acting as they should, so I'll just stick with it.

Problem solved I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you upload the reaper.ini and reaper-mouse.ini for the configuration that has the issue?

Nevermind that request, duplicated (the mouse mapping is "freehand draw" -- "freehand draw ignoring snap" does not have this problem)... We're fixing!
