Quite right. And if the selected framework won't allow this, it should be changed, whatever the cost, if the software will have a future. This is the most important drawback of Sonar.
If not, bandlab must inform us to limit our expectations for GUI develeopment, so that we don't invest our projects in a dead platform.
BTW One can also read SoundOnSound review on Cakewlak by Bandlab, where the reviewer criticizes this behaviour, first and foremost.
