Pro Tools LE 7.0 Bugs

[Larry Younkins]

I've come across two annoying bugs with PT LE 7.0:

1) PT doesn't always play when the space bar is pressed. I know this problem was reported in previous versions but it appears to have resurfaced. The problem seems to be highly correlated with the buffer settings. At low buffer settings (64 samples) it happens frequently. At high buffer settings (1024 samples) it never happens. There are no error messages, PT flashes the play button, the stop button and then halts.

2) Disappearing help files. I noticed during one session that the PT help files (Keyboard Shortcuts, Reference, etc.) are greyed out. I saved the session, closed it, and then re-opened
it and the help files reappear. However, at some point during the session (I don't know when) the files are greyed out again. Strange.

Anyone else observe these problems?

1) This was a problem I had up to v. 6.4 then it disappeared. In pt7 it´s back

The space bar problem happens at 1024 samples for me! I can clearly see both the play and stop buttons lighting, and I can see "play pause" paint at the bottom of the screen. Seems I recall somebody alluding that once Digi tech support acknowledged the problem, but classified it as a phantom, unrepeatable, inconsistent, uncorrectable issue. If I'm wrong on that I apologize. At best, it's still hearsay.
