Several small bugs

1

Hi all!
Just bought V3 and its kicking ass :wink:
Anyway, i found some small bugs to report, all GUI-related:

Metronome
Ticker Bar
Timeline
Onscreen Keyboard

Turning them on is working, but you canā€™t turn them off again. You can ā€œslideā€ some of them away so that they disappear, but I am not able to get rid of the TickerBar.

Resizing of upper or lower TickerBar has no minimum or maximum, so if i decrease the size strange things are happening :wink:

No big thinks, just wanted to report them.

Greetings, Tom

Hi Thomas,

Glad youā€™re enjoying Cantabile!

This behaviour of the bars is by design.

  • Resizeable panels/bars can be hidden by resizing to nothingness.
  • Any panel/bar that takes focus can be hidden by moving focus to it and pressing Shift+Escape or using the menu item:
  • Metronome can be hidden by clicking the metronome button again (thatā€™s inconsistent - canā€™t remember why).

The rationale for this is that I really donā€™t like little Xā€™s all over the place to close things. Also if the commands were to toggle visibility, when you press a short cut key, sometimes itā€™ll hide the panel and sometimes itā€™ll show it.

By having the command always show it, you know you can always move focus there with the shortcut key. eg:

Ctrl+K always shows the on-screen keyboard
Ctrl+K then Shift+Escape will always hide the on-screen keyboard
Escape will always move focus from a panel back to the main content area.

I realize itā€™s a little confusing to start with but once you get used to it, it is better. (IMO)

Limits on the ticker bar font size are probably a good idea.
