Key modifiers in the midi editor changes tool permanently

Nuendo
1

Hi,

Is it just me or is the key functionality in the midi editor weird?

This is what I am doing:
Copy a midi event using the option key modifier and drag the event to a
where you want the copy.
Then try to change the length of an event. My result is that the event gets repeated rather than re-sized. If I chose the edit tool again (via right click) I get the tool back. Pressing and releasing option also “releases” the repeat function.

(Chosig the the edit tool via key commands does not fix it either)

Best regards
Johannes

Hi,

Do I understand it correctly, that the Opt modifier had not been released?

Kind of. It activates incorrectly when I do an option drag to copy a midi event. And then it doesn’t release until I click option again or reselect the tool.

(N 13.020 on macOS 13.1)

Hi,

Does the same happen in the Project window?

5

Yes, after testing it seems like I get the “pen symbol” when hovering over the sizing dot on audio events, after doing a “option-drag” copy.

pressing option again releases the function.

Hi,

Are you sure your computer keyboard is working properly? Could you try in another application?

It work like it should in N12.0.7.

Also just pressing option does not trigger the “latching”. I need to option-drag(copy) an event for it to happen.

A apple wireless keyboard yields the same results.

Hi,

Could you start Nuendo 13 in the Safe Start Mode, please?

Tried that. Disabled preferences (and third party plugins), no change in behavior…

here is a short movie:

Another (related?) weirdness. Sometimes, just happened after being away from a open project for a while. The interface gets kind of sluggish. Clicking e on a channel opens the edit window after a noticeable delay. And when clicking solo on a channel, it first activates solo but after a delay the solo defeat gets activated. It’s like I’m doing a “long-click” even if I just click briefly.

Don’t know how to provoke this behavior. But it happens every now and then in different projects.

More on this,

I randomly (but usually after duplicating track etc) have the interface acting weirdly. Solo buttons activating solo defeat, e-button not working, seemly random buggy behavior in the interface (buttons in the mixer). Restarting resolves it and it only happens every other day. So it’s not critical. But I almost never had any problems like that before N13. Been on Nuendo since 1.5, and on the same machine since N11. Using trackpad or external mouse gives the same result.

Here is link to to a movie of when the mixer went crazy after an export.
All clicks are short left clicks with no key modifiers

Saving, restarting Nuendo and loading the project it’s working as it should.

I’m still having this bug btw.

After I copy an event (midi or audio) in the project window using OPT + drag, I cannot resize events using the handles anymore. The events gets repeated instead of extended. If I reselect the the selection tool, I get back to the normal behavior again.

Am I alone?

Johannes
