I recently installed the 32-bit version of Ardour 6.9.0 (using the file Ardour-6.9.0-i386.dmg) onto my Mac running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), and I’m getting this GUI issue (-GUI disappears when you click on things inside the plugin, then reappears if you move it around, -after closing the plugin, a white box appears where it was upon contining work in the session, etc.).
It appears that this problem only affects plugins that have their own (custom) GUIs, -and not the ones with generic GUIs.
Here’s a screen recording I made to demonstrate the problem (1:16):
Has anyone seen this before?
What things/settings/diagnostics/etc. should I check to narrow-down where the problem is?
Are there any known fixes for this kind of bug(?)?
Actually, not all plugins with their own GUIs are affected. It seems to be approx. 50/50, -again, amongst plugins that provide their own GUIs.
It seems to more commonly affect my most frequently-used plugins, which is weird.
Things I’ve checked/tried:
Created new user account; setup/run Ardour 6.9 (32-bit) from there; problem remains.
Ran Ardour 6.9 (64-bit); no GUI problems whatsoever.
I will try to reinstall some of the plugins that are experiencing the issue(s) (-like Voxengo’s GlissEQ as in the video), remove duplicates, and see if I can improve anything…
No luck so far…
-But here’s another clip; a part of the problem is that the window that Ardour provides for a plugin seems to rest in front of the plugin’s GUI, which seems to be working just fine in the background:
