Default Pro Tools HD 12.5 - Naming Track bug

Hi All,


not sure if this were reported or/if it is only with me

Pro tools hd 12.5

Create a new project (empty)

- add 2 audio tracks
- double click on the name of the second track to rename it
- window pop up with option to rename the track
- rename the track with the same name as the first track
- pop up saying there is already a track with this name, click ok
- from here I can't leave the renaming window it get stuck
- I can move the cursor anywhere in pro tools but the click doesn't work


I added some screenshots following the process

Configuration:
Dell Precision Tower 5810
2 screens
Windows 10 pro 64bit
80Go Ram
Pro Tools HD 12.5

I have seen this too. If you hit the ESC key you can get out of what appears to be a crash. It's just that the buttons stop working. I have only seen this on the Windows side

Hi Kris,

I just tried and pressed the ESC key,

You are right, it works.

Thanks very helpful.

Drove me nuts too until I figured out I could hit the ESC key! Never realized how often I tried to name a track the same as another until this bug came up! At least the workaround is simple.

Similar behavior in the I/O window where it will appear to lockup and esc is the only way out because a dialogue box gets buried under the app.

I've had a ticket open about this with Avid, happens when naming groups too. They say they can't reproduce it at their end and insist it's a problem on my system.

Thanks for confirming its not just me!

Slightly off topic: (but good to know)

If you do ever want/need to name a track the same name, just add a space after the duplicate name, it will work.

I sometimes use the same name for both my VCA and it's associated Audio Track (ie TAMBO) OR for Doubles and such. Easy quick trick.
