Default PT screen doesn't 'chase' Controls tracks...Help!

After updating to the latest firmware:

I noticed that when I touch a track icon on the Control, it will highlight the track on the PT screen (as it should), provided that track is visible on the monitor.

Now, say Protools shows tracks
15 - 20 on the monitor and I touch the "Track 1" icon on the Control.

With the new firmware, it will not automatically shoot up to show the highlighted "Track 1." on the monitor screen, so I have to scroll up to the highlighted track.

It did in the old firmware.

I've tried to look in all the settings and can't find anywhere that the PT will 'chase' the track icons. Can someone help me on this?

I think there is a preference in eucontrol as well as in Pro Tools under Mixing->Control Surface. I don't use it so I cannot say if it's broken with the new firmware. What I'm doing is holding the ctrl key (mac) while selecting the track. This automatically scolls both edit and mix window to the selected track.

Cheers
Stefan

also check the setting on the iPad itself (cog wheel at the top right in the app). Turn on "control banks DAW" or something like that. you can't miss it

Thanks guys for your help, but I think I found it:

In Eucontrol Settings,
General Tab,
click "Dock automation mode buttons follow attentioned channel"

This solved it for me :)

Default Re: PT screen doesn't 'chase' Controls tracks...Help!

having some similar question about Control App. What is the default behavior ?!?! I tried all the settings and options. Don't get it...

1.
- when I click a track in PT's mixer the blue rectangle follows in the App
- when I click a track in PT's Track List the App doesn't follow
in both cases the blue rectangle (bank) does nothing in the App, the mixer/bank in the app doesn't scroll. Shoudn't it though ?


2.
when I crtl+shift click to focus a track... is the Control App supposed to move/scroll or not - in my case nothing happens

3.
When I move the blue rectangle (bank) in the app, the PT mixer scrolls.

Did you reset your Network (disable network, re-enable)? Turn off and disconnect your Artist. They are finicky at times. I do this before every session. Has it connected before?

thanks for your answer, I was talking about the iPad control software. It seems (from another post) that everybody is waiting for an update
