I am posting this to see if anyone else is experiencing this or if it is specific to my system (mid-2015 15” MacBook Pro, Sierra 10.12.3, Logic 10.3.1). The following situation happens when fine adjusting a volume automation setting.
First, one places the cursor on the automation line and then presses the control key. This allows very fine adjusting of volume automation rather than just using the cursor by itself. If you accidentally select the control key before engaging the cursor on the volume automation line, the attached popup message appears. No problem, clicking on the message or somewhere else on the screen makes the message disappear. I have done this countless times in the recent past.
However, since 10.3.1, maybe even 10.3, something else happens, at least on my machine. Once the popup message appears, I can’t get rid of it! It holds focus for the entire screen. Anywhere I click on the Logic window, the same popup follows the cursor. I can’t do anything else, not even force quit or open another program. The only way out is to minimize Logic’s window which causes the program to crash if it hasn’t crashed already. This behavior is 100% consistent. Numerous crash reports have been sent to Apple. Obviously, one needs to be careful in selecting keys and cursor points, but this is a behavior I haven’t experienced before. Anyone else?
