Thanks for checking Martin, must be something about my system, which is Mac based.
I checked today on Cubase 9 and the issue isn’t there, it behaves as expected, so it’s something that has come with 9.5.
In fact, using the KC for Edit Channel Settings is just ropey, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t, and it disables the ‘Follow…’ option. Im going to keep Edit Channel Settings Always On Top, so I don’t have to keep opening it.
I followed your suggestion and trashed C9.5 prefs, forcing Cubase to retrieve the 9.0 prefs, problem has gone away - the Channel Settings now open and close reliably on the KC and the ‘Follow e buttons…’ option is no longer disabled.
Thanks very much for this, I’ll post it in the Nuendo thread as well
