Bug: Right clicking on CC lane header creates a new lane half the time

Cubase
1

This is a very annoying bug that I’ve been seeing since version 14 and it’s still in version 15. Many times I right on a CC lane header to select the “Select All Events On Lane” and either delete them or copy them.

But many times, about half the times or 40%, I do a right click and I don’t even see the menu, it just creates another lane as if I had selected “Create Controller Lane”, something I hardly ever do. And it doesn’t make any sense because when you right click on a header, the mouse pointer is not even selecting that menu command. Even if it were, to execute any of the commands in that menu, you don’t have to just right click. That’s just to show the menu. You have to choose the command and then left click on it to execute it.

This bug is getting really annoying now that I’m working with Cubase more often. Just because I know I will be asked this, my mouse is brand new. I started using it about a month ago, and this doesn’t happen with any other program, or obviously I would think it’s the mouse’s fault. But it’s not, otherwise, half the time I right click on any other app, like selecting a file and right clicking, which I do dozens of times a day or more, would happen, and it doesn’t.

Hi,

The “Create Controller Lane” is the 1st option in the menu. To me it looks like your mouse sends right-click and immediately left-click.

Just a small note: On Windows you can hold down the right mouse button to make the menu appear, then release it on any item on the menu. There is no need to press the left mouse button.

However, when attempting to remove CC lanes with this method I found it rather hard as the mouse cursor never seems to be on top of “remove lane” by default. It always requires some mouse movement.

Hi,

Good point. This is possible on Mac too.

If the mouse was defective, this would happen with other programs, and it wouldn’t happen with another mice, which I tried and it’s the same. Like I said, this mouse is a month old.

Okay, but since it doesn’t happen to us it is hard to understand what is going on on your end.
