What happened to note merging on the Step Sequencer?
On build 2025.07 build 0 97 X64 the Step Sequencer has lost a feature important to me. On previous builds and CBB builds you could merge/tie note in the step sequencer. If you entered 8 beats on a row right next to each other, you could hold the Control key and left-click drag across those beats to merge/tie them into one note that holds for 8 beats. CBB would visually show these 8 beats were merged into one 8 beat long bar but Sonar shows nothing different and you have to look in the velocity lane to see anything different.
The latest build breaks this feature entirely. I enter 8 beats in a row and Ctrl-left-click them to merge/tie them and when the sequence play, only the first beat plays and silence for the remaining 7 beats. This worked on the previous builds but not longer works and there is still no visual indication the beats are merged.
I use the step sequencer often and this missing functionality has stopped me cold as merging is something I do in every project. I don't know why this feature has been affected, but it makes me angry that Sonar is so far proving to be a downgrade from CBB in many ways. I have been using Cakewalk since the 90s and I don't want to use another DAW, but without a working step sequencer, I may have no choice but to look into other DAWs. Please fix this!
Anyone else able to reproduce this issue on 2025.07 build 097 X64?
