| Summary | 0009620: Delay the display of the MIDI-info at the pointer while entering MIDI-notes and automation (or add a setting for it) | ||||
| Description | While entering MIDI-notes with a (mouse-)pointer, Ardour displays information about the Note (note-name, note-number, channel, velocity, length) that will be added or is pointed at. That info partially blocks the view towards the bottom-right of the pointer, and the text is changing/flickering quickly between note-names and numbers while moving the pointer in the MIDI-region. Only showing the info after the pointer is not moving for a short time (~0.5-1 seconds), would prevent the flickering and the view-blocking while moving the pointer. Additionally, fading the info in/out quickly (~50-100ms) would probably make it less distracting than the instant-change it does now. A similar change could be applied to automation-point-info. Moving the pointer along a drawn automation-curve with many densely placed points can also result in a flickering info-text. The pointer also flickers a lot while doing that. Alternatively, there could be an option to change the delay or to completely disable the info-text. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | MIDI-notes: Add a MIDI-region, make it large enough, move the pointer up and down across notes while in pencil-mode (or move the cursor over existing notes, going past them, while in edit-mode). Automation: Add an automation-track to a MIDI-region, make it large enough, draw a curvy line to have a dense group of automation-points lined up, move the pointer along the automation points. | ||||

The flickering text in the piano-roll-editor makes me unable to compose/sequence/edit with the piano-roll-editor. I usually quickly got a headache from that flickering when i tried to use the piano-roll-editor, because the flickering text is very distracting while i need to focus and do things quickly. |
