Hi Michael, Yes, this work-around works in scroll and page view but not studio view. Other glitches: in studio view, the message bar text is partially hidden under the consoles on the left. Also, when you choose "Show Message Bar" after it appears on it's own, the text disappears entirely.
I will report this as a bug to MakeMusic.
