When i open the mix console the transport bar disappears. i have to reopen the transport bar.when i close the mix console the transport bar stays visible. when i open mix console it disappears again.
I can see that this wood be handy option in some situations. bud i prefer to keep it open.
So is this normal in cubase 7 or is something that need to be fixed.
What OS are you on?
It may be helpful to know what the MixConsole is set to as well - is it windowed or full screen?
I’ll check later but don’t think it happens on my PC. You can also now bring up the transport stop/start etc. functions in the new mixer toolbar (with a right click).
it is behaving like that on the 64 bit version ,weather it’s ment to be like that only steinberg knows 
mountain lion 10.8.2 ,windowed stretched out over the full screen. i test it making the mix console smaller. to my surprise now the transport bar don,t goes away very strange. bud when i resize it over the hole window the ttrans port bar disappears again.
I can’t duplicate this. The only thing is that the mixConsole does “cover” it. But, when I close the mixconsole it is still open.
what’s interesting is that I have this problem with the Channel editor now. If I have the mixconsole full screen and use F3 to close the mixconsole, it takes the channel editor out as well.
Yep, I have the same thing happen to me also, both Channel Editor and Transport disappear after closing the MixConsole.
Related to this thread is my guess.
