Since I got Pro 9 there has intermittently been a small rectangle with check boxes for opening Status, Infoline and Overview, appearing somewhere near the Toolbar. I do not know how I have triggered its appearance, nor can I trigger it intentionally. Today I wanted to uncheck these options, and checked the manual which says they can be turned off in the toolbar. However I found nowhere on the Toolbar to do so.
Sometimes a very narrow white space appears above the toolbar, ie, a white band of tiny height, too small to have any text or anything else in it, as if it a section exists above but is being hidden by something. Sometimes I can click somewhere in that tiny space and elicit the checkbox, but it takes a while.
Is there a key to finding this checkbox, or do I have a faulty installation, or a bug? ( a bit like the bug in Mixer1, iirc)
You’re looking for a small arrow to right of the zone selection buttons.
If you don’t have that/those I’d suggest a screencap of your toolbar might help work out what’s going on…it does sound like something may not be right. I haven’t experienced this strip of white you mention…but then I haven’t upgraded to 9.5.
They’re talking about the popups introduced in Cubase 8.5. They’re disabled by default in Cubase 9 and above and shouldn’t be showing up.
Open the Preferences window, then go to General and disable “Use Edge Hints”.
Cubase 9 and above introduced a better way to show or hide zones. Just click one of the 3 buttons to the top right of the screen, or click this down arrow right next to them for more options:
If these buttons don’t show up, click the gear icon to the top right and then click “Reset All”.
Wow, thanks guys. Great to have a solution. Romantique, thanks for the screenshot. That window looks like the old one that used to be on the left of the Toolbar. I haven’t seen anything like it yet in 9.5, I will go look asap.
My phantom box is much plainer, and appears anywhere. I will check out preferences to disable Edge Hints, thanks.
The bug I referred to means that Mixer 1 has no toolbar, I think it was. When I got Pro recently and started setting up Preferences, Workspaces etc, I had trouble following the Manual at times because they referred to a line or Toolbar that was not present in my floating Mixer. After quite some experimentation and a reinstallation, I found posts (sorry don’t remember where) confirming it as a bug, and only affecting Mixer 1, iirc. As I have not yet progressed to the point where I am using that view, I can’t recall precisely.
Thanks Steve. I just checked my Cubase and the issue is no longer occurring here. Also, I have unchecked Edge Hints in Prefs and found the Setup Window Layout button, thanks again Romantique and Grim.
