Who gets caught out with the focus being on the wrong part of the track list divide?
In most cases this would mean you have clicked an event - say, a marker, in the top list, and your focus is now on the top tracks so all other commands only operate this part of the tracks!!
This is insanely inconvenient and illogical.
An example is, if I inadvertently click on a cycle marker or arranger event, which I like to keep in the top half, then executing something like ‘Show only tracks with data in between locators’ will ignore the rest of the tracks (in the bottom half) – and basically gives me a useless result.
It is high time that dedicated commands were introduced to tell Cubase where the focus is (top/bottom track list). Then we can at least build that into a macro for commands where we know we only want the bottom tracks to be the focus.
Another mishap I run into often is ‘removing selected track’. If I have a track from the top half in focus (there is NO way of knowing sometimes), then guess what - instead of removing the track I selected in the bottom half, my cycle marker track is removed.
