Yes I do believe that many of these somewhat "strange" issues are related to the OS and not the program because the methods employed in the software, ie., cubase no longer work as intended and so it goes on.

However I would like very much for the locators to stay as they are and not move just because I've switched from one mode to another eg., from musical to linear mode and vice versa.

As for the scroll wheel issue, well my assesment of the situation is that scrolling should not effect such minor things as track colours and potentially major things such as presets of instruments because it takes hours to properly modify a patch and sometimes the only record of having done it is in the project itself.

Thanks again for your time and best regards.
