CbB hanging when tweaking on dialog box (Solved)

[mgustavo]

Hi, I'd like to report minor issues related with dialog boxes, maybe they are easy to fix.

One issue is that I've noticed CbB started to hang when I tweak on dialog boxes, like Note Properties and Event Inspector.
It has started with march update but I've noticed that before.

It happens when I hover the mouse between the plus and minus buttons of value field and a double side arrow appears. When that happens clicking and dragging the mouse will cause CbB to produce a 'beep' sound and it will hang, forcing user to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del keys to leave Windows for a while and then go back.

I tried to reproduce this on Sonar Home Studio 2017, but it is working fine.

The other issue happens on Event Inspector too. It happens when I click on one parameter to change value,  but if I hover the mouse out of value field CbB will end the operation.
As an example, if I hover accidentally the mouse and hit '3' for third bar on 'Time' field, CbB will open 'Screenset 3'. 

Best regards,

Hi, just to update OP - I've contacted Cakewalk support and they could reproduce the first issue, related to the bar between the + and - values! It seems it's going to be fixed!

Also interacting with support made me tweak a bit more on Event Inspector module and  I saw there is an option to clear the Auto Open Collapsed Modules on the Control Bar, as show on Cakewalk on line help:

Note 2: If you do not want pop-up modules to automatically appear when you point to collapsed modules, right-click the Control Bar, point to Options, and clear the Auto Open Collapsed Modules option. When this option is disabled, you must click a collapsed module to open its pop-up module.

This procedure solved my problem! : )

Thanks!
