Can anyone explain why Cubase Pro 13 has decided to corrupt my track names on my MacBook Pro? As you can see in the screen shot, the clips show the correct names, but the tracks and the mixer channels just show gobbledygook. Some other fields are also showing rubbish.
Looks like a font problem. What version of OSX?
Iām running macOS 12.7.2 ā¦ funny thing though, if I double click into the track name field to edit, the name appears perfectly correct. Itās only when I hit return that the rubbish font appears.
My main Cubase machine is an iMac ā¦ zero problem with that. The MacBook Pro is simply my travel tool. Nonetheless, frustrating ā¦
Are you using some āunusualā language? It is just a guess since fonts are specific for different locales.
ā¦ define āunusualā? No, all language settings are normal ā¦ English ā¦ well, Australian English. But itās been harmless up till now.
There is a list of supported languages. Anything not there maybe?
Languages
User interface languages: Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, French, German, Spanish, English
Documentation languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Russian
If I look in OS preferences, and look at specific app languages, it shows Cubase 13 running āSystem Default: Englishā ā¦ so that doesnāt seem like the issue.
Apparently, all Cubase UI items are also affectedā¦
From which, I would try to relaunch Cubase in safe mode, using the Disable Program Preferences option.
If this still doesnāt work and you are not experiencing the same issue with other applications, Iām afraid that you are for a complete Cubase reinstallationā¦

Thanks Iāll try that. Could it be a corrupted profile file, somewhere in the system? Because, I tried firing up my previous Cubase Pro 12 installation (which I hadnāt deleted), and the same problem appeared.
Well, blow me down ā¦ relaunching in SAFE and Disabling Program Preferences worked. And it sticks. Closed and reopened it, and problem has vanished.
Thank you both, Cubic13 and Cubace, for throwing yourselves at the problem.
Happy New Year to you both!!!

Experiencing the same issue. Thought that was a problem with me using a hackintosh but apparently notā¦ The safe open trick doesnāt seem to work for me, Iāll try again with a computer reboot in between. Disabling gpu graphics is a showstopper as all the UI gets extremely laggy if I do so (like meters updating less than twice per second)ā¦
My config is Intel 10900k/amd 6600xtā¦
I have a m1 pro as well gonna test there.
Yeah experienced the same issue right yesterday, usually it was only a few tracks, now that was the whole bunch ^^
It looks that itās happening when GPU resources are used by other applications, maybe there is some memory release and allocation that ends up using a corrupting memory area (just my 2pc). I also have regular crashed of the whole application, with thread 0 being the culprit (so the main thread from Cubase, not a plugin)ā¦
So this problem has been going on for quite a long time, and occurs both on Intel and Arm macs, would be great if someone from steinberg could pass by ^^
Restarting computer fixes it ā¦ for a few minutes 
then back to corrupt names. CUBASE GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER!!!
