Media Bay - first click after search doesn't work, the second one does

Cubase 14 - When I open Media Bay and then search it generates a list but the first time I click on an item in the list the line blanks and then resets without doing anything (i.e. doesn’t select the track, or audition the track, or allow me to drag it into the project).

The next time I click a track it behaves normally (selects and auditions track or allows me to drag it into the project). It behaves normally until the next search, after which the same problem occurs.

This wasn’t a problem in C13 and I’m surprised that no one else seems to have mentioned this, which makes me wonder if it’s just me! Not a biggie as it doesn’t stop anything but surprisingly annoying.

Hi,

Do you have the latest Cubase 14.0.10 update installed, please?

Hi Martin,

Yes, I do. I’m on 14.0.10.

I noticed it on 14.0.5 but thought I’d wait for the first patch release. I now have 14.0.10 and the problem remains (very happy the Search Media key command is working again though!)

I think I have the same behavior. I search for a ‘word’, I get results… and then if I click on a file in the results, it seems to glitch and do the search again.

ALSO… I no can longer use pageup/pagedown in the results. This is a bit of a drag. For another thread maybe… :slight_smile:

How do they break page up/down … this is mind numbing atp.

I imagine there’s some setting/option somewhere but I haven’t found it yet.

Hi,

I cannot reproduce it here, so far.

Are you on Mac or Windows? Could you please make a short video screen recording? I know, it looks like easy to replicate, but maybe there is a detail, which we don’t see from the simple description.

Hi Martin,

I’m on Windows 11.

Just playing with it now- when I start typing a list starts to generate. If I click on an item in the list without hitting Enter I have the problem. This is possibly as Kearley said, that it then re-does the search after clicking on the line (although just the line goes blank and glitches). Once focus is in the list it works as expected.

However, if I type, watch the list generate, press Enter and then click an item in the list it works as expected (no glitching). So committing the search appears to be key.

In C13 it worked either way (I’ve re-tested since).

If that’s not reproducible I will try and find time to record a video later.

Thanks,
dbh

Can confirm here Cubase 14 Pro 14.0.10 Windows 11.

The first click used to select AND play/preview the file selected in the media Bay Right Hand View. Now it only plays when you click it a second time.

Hi,

I still cannot reproduce it, therefore I ask for the video.

Are you talking about MediaBay window or MediaBay Rack, please?

Media Bay Rack

I’ve only tried Media Bay window so far… and my behaviour is the same as in pmallet57’s video.

Same at 8 mins in this YouTube video

Confirmed on Windows 11 latest version, Cubase 14 Pro 14.0.10.

Confirmed Windows 11, Cubase 14.0.10
Media bay rack.

Bug confirmed Windows 11, Cubase 14.0.10

Can confirm this also on Windows 10 here, Cubase 14.0.10.

In either the Media Bay window or rack, if I search for a term I will immediately get some results appearing, but when I click on any sample in the results field to preview, that item will blank out for an instant and the entire list will reload again as if I had executed a new search. This only happens the first time. After the reload the list operates as normal, until a new search is executed.

Can confirm this on C14.0.10 and W11.

Hi,

Could you try in Cubase Safe Start Mode with disabled preferences (or even remove/rename) the whole preferences folder?
