This issue was already mentioned once when Cubase 13 was released, but has not yet been resolved in version 13.0.40.
The workspace indicator (the one in brackets) in the menu bar isn’t working properly:
Sometimes the indicator doesn’t appear at all, though workspaces are defined and activated
When the workspace is changed, the display of the current workspace isn’t updated (a wrong workspace ID is shown, as in image)
Strangely, these items work in Cubase 12.
Furthermore:
No Asterisk (*) is displayed when a change is made to the workspace
Sometimes there’s an Asterisk shown though, but it doesn’t disappear, when the workspace is updated
Hi,
Do you mean the “G2” (on your screenshot) indicator? Do you know under which circumstances it doesn’t appear, please?
Do you know when this happens?
Btw, do you know (maybe from the original report) if this issue is on Windows only, or if it’s cross-platform?

Yes, that’s what’s meant. Regarding the circumstances, here’s a …
… Test procedure with Cubase 13 (13.0.40):
1: Start with clean Cubase setup (no user settings)
2: Create empty project with “Create empty…” button, no workspaces are defined
3: Create a global workspace “My Workspace 1”
4: [NOK!] Select this workspace => No workspace indicator shown
5: Create a 2nd global workspace “My Workspace 2”
6: [NOK!] Select this workspace => Still no workspace indicator shown
7: Save project, close and re-open it
8: [NOK!] Indicator now appears, but showing wrong ID (2 instead of 1, which is active)
9: [NOK!] Switching between workspaces 1 and 2 doesn’t change indicator display
Furthermore:
For comparison, same procedure with Cubase 12 (12.0.70):
1: Start with clean Cubase setup (no user settings)
2: Create empty project with “Create empty…” button, no workspaces are defined
3: Create a global workspace “My Workspace 1”
4: [OK!] Select this workspace => Indicator shows correctly G1
5: Create a 2nd global workspace “My Workspace 2”
6: [OK] Select this workspace => Indicator shows correctly G2
7: Save project, close and re-open it
8: [OK!] Indicator appears, showing correct ID (1, which is active)
9: [OK!] Switching between workspaces 1 and 2 changes indicator display correctly
See above.
I’m on Windows 10. The initial report I found was at
Getting strange workspace numbering on screen.
I have my first global workspace named as “MAIN” when selected it does as it should showing mixer console 1 and shows as (G1) in the arrange window however on the mixer console it shows as (G2). This gets more bizarre when I start selecting other global workspaces. The configuration is always correct but the G numbers appear to be random.
The images there also show Windows OS.
Hi,
Thank you very much for the detailed description!
It’s Windows only, as Mac doesn’t have this indicator in the menu at all. At least not in Cubase 12. (Even though I would say, it was there in the past. )
Hi,
Reported to Steinberg. Thank you.
