The project window seems to resize itself from time to time. Not a -huge- deal, but what also happens is that the modal dialog for exiting the program—or saving a project, appears in the upper right corner off screen—so one can’t see the options.
This used to happen occasionally in older versions of Cubase under XP and there was a trick to correcting with the Taskbar. But this doesn’t work in Win7. I also seem to recall a Registry setting for forcing the dialog box back to center.
I currently resize the display-resolution and when windows asks if i really want that resolution change it back. This way every window is inside the visible screen-space again…
Thanks to all. Looks like ‘Sheepdog’ is now part of my desktop. The graphics properties trick doesn’t seem to work for me as my monitors are already @ max resolution.
NB to Steinberg:
A. This is definitely a -bug-. I can’t think of another program I have that does this. It is completely reproduceable.
Windows goes to sleep… or I turn off the monitor(s) (using 2 monitors in extended mode).
Windows wakes up, or I turn on the monitors.
Try to exit Cubase. Close program modal dialog off screen upper left.
50% of the time, the app has ‘forgotten’ it’s screen size. ie. I usually have Cubase ‘non-maximised’ but stretched across the entire 2 monitors.
B. I’m pretty sure this has been happening -occasionally- with 6.02, but now it happens 100% of the time with the 6.04 ‘beta’. How does one roll back to 6.02?
C. I contacted SB Support and filled out the form. (BTW: having to fill out that long-ass form -every- time is insulting—especially since you already have my SB Key and so on. Why not just store that info -once-. It’s like you -want- to make reports as onerous as possible.) The ‘suggestion’ I got back 2 days later was (I summarise): “Trash your entire Cubase 6 data folder.” I don’t know where to start in ranting about what a crap solution that is. And what kills me is that, every time I have to contact SB I get an automated ‘How are we doing?’ survey from Yamaha… which means -nothing-.
So… thanks for Sheepdog!
SB: How many owners will it take to get decent support? (There’s a joke in there somewhere.)
Well, I rolled back to 6.02 and if anything the situation is now -worse-. Now, -any- modal dialog (like when one instantiates a new VSTi and it asks for a channel)… or even hitting ‘Help|About’ goes off screen.
If it were not for ‘Sheepdog’ I’d be screwed.
Anyone else running into this?
I now realise that it started when I upgraded my mobo a few months ago from a 1st gen Sandybridge to a Z68. I don’t get it. Same video. Same hard drives.
