Summary0010202: Ruler visibility toggles have no effect until GUI scaling is changed in Preferences
DescriptionIn the Editor window, toggling ruler items via the ruler context menu (right-clicking the ruler area to open the ruler visibility popup) has no visible effect. Checking or unchecking any ruler item (e.g., Timecode, Bars & Beats, Samples, etc.) does not update the ruler display at all — the ruler remains unchanged regardless of what is selected.
Steps To Reproduce- Open a session and go to the Editor window.
- Right-click on the ruler area to open the ruler item visibility menu.
- Check or uncheck any ruler item.
- Observe that the ruler display does not change.
Additional InformationWorkaround: Navigate to Preferences > Appearance > Size and Scale and modify the GUI and Font Scaling value (even a trivial change is sufficient). This triggers a UI refresh, after which the ruler correctly displays the items that were previously toggled.
