Enlarging a MIDI Region in Draw Mode

Hi all,

In Ardour 9, when I’m in “Draw Mode” and I create a MIDI region by dragging its end to the right, I expect it to start scrolling right when it reaches the edge of the monitor. Instead, it stops. To do this, I have to go into “Grab Mode” and then drag the end to resize. Is this intentional?

It won’t help you that much, but i don’t experience that here.
I tried to change a few settings to experience the same, but i couldn’t reproduce it.
Good luck.

I can’t reproduce this either.

So it’s just a problem with my system…
Maybe it’s because I built it from source code. Strange, because it didn’t report any errors.
Anyway, the problems I’ve found so far are completely minor and easily workaroundable.

Thank you,

It is unlikely to be a problem with “just your system”. However, I’d encourage you to download a free/demo nightly of either 9.0 or the nightly builds (nightly.ardour.org) and see if you see the same behavior there.

I understood the problem: when I start Ardour, the program window is slightly wider than my monitor, so it protrudes to the right by a few millimeters. If I move the window so that its right part fits inside the monitor, then the problem is solved.
I still haven’t figured out how to make the program window fit my monitor (1366x768). It is not manually resizable.
