Composer 5 freezes after closing Playback Position Arrows

Thanks for checking this over. I see what you mean, the Arrows don't show up in a print and I hadn't tried to print as I didn't want to waste paper ....
...
because if you go to "Print Preview" the dialog tells you that this is the same as "Page View" and the Arrows do show in Page View.

So my operational problem is not in fact an issue - but my logical confusion remains because "Print Preview" is not a true prevew of what will be printed!

Best wishes
Tim

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the explanation.
I do see what you mean and how that could be confusing.

One nice test you can always do to see if an element actually prints out is to use the built-in "Microsoft print to PDF" as a printer option. This gives you a pdf version that uses the printer options to give a PDF that will show you the output without using paper.

Specifically for our software, there is a File/Export/PDF option that gives a high-resolution PDF that you can check as well.

Thanks again for the report and the clarification.

Happy music making
Sherry

Thanks for the report. This is a regression which came in during beta phase with the feature "remaining playback time" on 2023/09/15. Unfortunately, it was not caught within 9 months of beta testing. Sorry for any inconvenience. It is fixed and will come with the next update 5.0.2.
