Thanks for your response. Appreciate the suggestion. Actually, I did file a report and the response from Jonathan I referenced was in response to that report. (The report was filed using the system in place before this forum was available.) Jonathan did try to reproduce the issue, but could not. (Most likely because I had not been specific enough in my instructions to reproduce the issue.) Because of his response, I questioned whether it was a system configuration issue on my system. It took a while for me to determine that it wasn't an issue with my system. However, to verify my findings, I wanted to see if anyone else was having the issue. Thus my post with the revised recipe for reproducing the issue. Indeed others seem to be having similar issues with the job function. I've found a usable workaround for now, which is to only jog with the cursor on a single track, not on the time line. The drawback with that is you only hear the track on which you are jogging, not all tracks. Thanks again, Paul

No display scaling here. And yes, you don't have to hold the "J" key, but if you do, it will only be active for as long as you hold the "J" key down. You can also press and release the "J" key to go into Jog mode. If you do that, then subsequently pressing and releasing the "J" key will take it out of Jog mode. (At least that's how it used to work when "jogging" on the time line, but not now.) I used the Jog function for many years before October 2018 without issue. It was one of the primary steps in my workflow for creating practice tracks. Really sorry to see this has stopped working as it used to. One thing to note though; if you use the Jog function by "jogging" on a single track (my steps to reproduce the issue plays all tracks by "jogging" on the time line), it works as expected. Glad to see that I'm not the only one with this issue. Very surprised that more people don't seem to use (or care) about the jog function. Later, Paul

Yes. Wired and bluetooth. Any chance you could try to reproduce it for me? My post above contains detailed steps to reproduce it. Thanks

I get the same issue when I try to use the "Jog" function. Check this post.

I noticed this was a problem back in October of 2018. I brought it up to Jonathan Sasor through email, but I guess it dropped off his priority list. I used this a lot (I guess I'm "old school") and was disappointed when it stopped working. Cakewalk was one of the few DAWs that had this feature. Here's how to reproduce the issue in case anyone else wants to try it. It also explains how to get out of the "captured mouse cursor". Open CbB Choose File/New Select Empty Project on the New Project File dialog and press OK Open Windows File Explorer and browse to an audio file Drag 4 copies of the audio file into CbB all starting at 1:01:000 to create 4 audio tracks Using the cursor on the time line, select a span within the range of the audio. This will create a selection range, selecting all tracks and creating selected range in each of the audio tracks. Position the cursor on the time line and within the previously selected time span and press and hold the J key on the keyboard to begin the “Jog” operation. (If you see the magnifier when you position the cursor, you are too high on the time line.) Press and hold the primary mouse button on the time line within the previously selected time span to start a “Jog” operation and drag the cursor to later in the time line. Release the mouse button. Release the J key on the keyboard. The expected result is that the “Jog” operation is started on step 8 and finished on step 9 leaving the Now Time positioned at the point you released the mouse button in step 9. The actual result is: Upon performing step 8, the Now Time is moved immediately to where the mouse button was pressed and remains. Dragging the cursor in the time line does not perform the “Jog” operation. Upon release of the mouse button, the cursor is “stuck” on the time line and cannot be moved out of the bounds of the time line. My workaround to "free" the "captured" cursor is to switch to another window on the desktop, then back to CbB, then position the cursor on one of the audio tracks and press the mouse button to clear the “Jog” cursor. Anyone care to reproduce? Thanks in advance for any help, Paul
