Question

Program Monitor Zoom changes when entering "Trim" mode

The zoom level in the Program monitor will be changed if the user enters “Trim” view. I’ve linked a screen recording where you can see I start in “Fit” mode, then hold Ctrl and highlight some edit points - then once I click out of the trim view, my program monitor zoom has changed to 19% effectively cutting off the top half of my frame.
This results in the user constantly needing to reset their program monitor when managing lots of audio tracks or just using the trim view in general (personally I wish I could disable highlighting edit points automatically entering trim mode but that’s a different topic)


This issue has been persistent for a few versions now, I think since some of the program monitor changes during 25.x
Would love to see this one fixed

~~Rather annoyingly this doesn’t seem to immediately affect a project, there seems to be some unspecified thing that causes it to start happening in a project - I just haven’t quite figured out what triggers it, but it more or less starts happening to all of my projects eventually during the edit. Once it starts happening, it will continue to happen even after closing and reopening the project.~~
After further investigation It might just be my project file template that’s broken for some reason? doesn’t seem to be happening on a fresh file. I’ll make a fresh template file then and report back at some point to see if I ever ran into it again

Still having this issue crop up randomly in 26.3.2, even with a newly generated 26 project file. Still not really sure what causes it to start happening, it’s totally random

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the message. I've not seen that issue, and I'm a Trim Mode kinda guy. Can you share a screen movie showing the issue that I can share with the team? Sorry for the hassle.


Thanks,
Kevin
