Was this like…an issue of some sort? I can’t for the life of me understand why Steinberg just went ahead and took out this feature, even though apparently a lot of people were using it. It’s not like it clutters the UI, it’s just a really handy way of improving the workflow and now it’s all of a sudden gone for no reason.
same here! absolute workflow killer. using “play” symbol frequently which is now at the far right, and therefore triple the distance from where it used to be in a 2-line setting.
please bring this back!
The fixed one-row toolbox in Cubase 10 doesn’t work for me, not in Arrange Window nor in Key Editor. (more mouse-movements)
I prefer the two-row size I have worked with in all Cubase vesions before for 25 years.
That means like in Cubase 9.5, two rows of 5 tools in Key Editor and 2 rows of 6 tools + one color tool below that in Arrange Window, see attachements.
In Preferences - Editing - Tools I always had enabled “Pop-up Toolbox on Right Click”.
I think I’ve had enough of this attrociously bad design decision. And it’s not JUST the fact you can’t resize it over 2 lines, it’s the stupid animated green graphic that you a forced to wait for when you want to change any of the ‘sub-options’. Then when you select your chosen sub-option, you have to click AGAIN on the background for the options to disappear.
In no known universe is this a step forward.
I don’t care about the new features of Cubase 10.x.x. I’m going back to 9.5.50.
again +1.
and yes, this green graphic is even more annoying than the menu not being 2 lines anymore, since its animation is super slow and doesn’t bring any conceivable advantage. always mis-clicking since this was introduced.
Sorry, this is incorrect. The long-click option was introduced with Cubase 10. Have and look at 9.5.50 - it’s all instant-click. This is how it should work, and HAS worked since the days of Cubase SX.
It’s as if this aspect of Cubase 10 has been specifically designed to slow you down!
So does 10.5 now have instant-click access to the Toolbox sub-menus?
i just double-checked.
unfortunately no. now, while holding right-click (to keep the menu open) you simultaneously even have to hold left-click for ~200ms to open the sub menu. after that you can let go of both and the menu+sub menu will stay open.
so basically the green progress bar - which was accessable with single-click before - was removed and an additional left-click-hold introduced.
this is so unergonomic it’s literally giving me hand cramps.
@ Steinberg
why so complicated? why not just:
single right-click for menu to open and stay open. (as it already is with the ctrl+right+click menu!!!)
I have just retested this in Cubase 9.5 vs Cubase 10.5.
Use case: switch from Object Selection tool to Parabola tool, when Line tool is selected (using toolbox in the toolbar). C9.5:
Select Object Selection.
Click to Line tool to select it.
Click to Line tool again to be able to change it.
or
Select Object Selection.
Double-click to the Line tool to be able to change it.
C 10.0.50:
Select Object Selection.
Click to Line tool to select it.
Click to Line tool again to be able to change it.
or
Select Object Selection.
Double-click to the Line tool to be able to change it.
or
Select Object Selection.
Long-cloick to the Line tool to be able to change it.
Use case: switch from Object Selection tool to Parabola tool, when Line tool is selected (using right-click toolbox). C9.5:
Select Object Selection.
Right-click to get the toolbox.
Hold right-click down and click to the Line tool to be able to change it.
C10.0.50:
Select Object Selection.
Right-click to get the toolbox.
Hold right-click down and click to the Line tool (wait 300ms???) to be able to change it. => You are right, this doesn’t make any sense.
