sjoens Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 When clicking the Cakewalk by BandLab ▼ tab above in Chrome browser, the dropdown menu frequently disappears before I can select any links. Eventually it does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Not really seeing that here: Have you got any custom mouse settings set up like large DPI or speed settings or anything like that? I've certainly came across this problem myself but the Cakewalk menus seem to always work OK for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Thanks for checking. It's only the Cakewalk tab and only happens when the browser is on the 2nd monitor... where it lives 99% 0f the time. This monitor has a few smallish issues like this, so I'm chalking it up to cheap monitor. Edited September 7, 2022 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 I just detached "discuss" and moved it onto my second monitor. I had to zoom the browser (Chrome) smaller to get the tabs to appear. No premature menu closing issue. I tried resizing the browser on Mon 2 and couldn't replicate the issue. My monitors are different sizes; they have different resolution settings. At present I have scaling/layout at 100% on both, though I sometimes change the scaling on monitor 2. Is it possible you are using a custom setting somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 2nd monitor is running w/normal settings. It also runs off a different video card. Gaming Laptop has 2 and seems to require the 2nd one for external monitors. I've tried to run both on one video but nothing in the docs, settings or what I've read online seems to allow it. I'll try to locate another monitor to see if either monitor or video card is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tim Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Yeah, without knowing any more than this, I'd point a finger at a scaling thing where the document object model is getting confused about the mouse position on that monitor, or if the resolution is different between each monitor, it's getting tangled between the both of them. I've been on some sites where if the window gets resized, all of the menus go all funky like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 Found it behaves the same on both monitors and both tabs so not an isolated incident as previously thought. After several attempts it stops disappearing and behaves normally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fogle Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It frequently happens to me. I'll click on the down arrow, menu displays but disappears when the cursor leaves the down arrow. As mentioned above, eventually the menu displays long enough to make a selection. My normal browser is Firefox. I wonder if how long the menu displays is a function of a persistence setting that can be changed or if the size of the area where the mouse cursor is recognized is too small?

I finally discovered how to switch graphic cards. Apparently it's per app, not per monitor. Go to Settings > Graphic Settings > Choose an app to set performance. Click Browse to add an app. Click the app. Click Options. Select Let Windows decide, Power Saving (Intel), or High Performance (NVIDIA). When I added Chrome to the list and set it to (NVIDIA), the issue was there. When I set it to (Intel), the issue wasn't as prevalent but still there. Does having 2 apps on the same monitor mean it's using 2 different graphic drivers??? Or will one app take precedence? Edit: On this laptop the Intel graphics will only run the laptop screen. The NVIDIA graphics will only run external screens.

User 905133 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Interesting. I don't use a laptop for music, but I was curious about this setting. Might find it useful in the future.

sjoens Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Mouse settings are normal and I never leave the flyout. It's only this one tab that acts up. Same behavior in Edge. Could be the mouse itself. Laptop track pad works fine on it but 2 different USB mice don't. Edited November 20, 2022 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 No... now ALL tabs are doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
