For a few years, I've been using the newer versions of Pro Tools but only began using the latest version at the studio as of this year. Having spent more time with PT 11 on a day-to-day basis, I've come to notice something that didn't occur to me earlier. I've never seen mention of it on the list although the general subject has come up. I have not, however, seen any posts offering the following explanation. For what it's worth, here it is:
As, I'm sure, many of you have noticed, tracks sometimes appear, for lack of a better way of saying it, "to the left" of the Tracks List pop-up button (erroneously labeled, "Show/Hide label.") When interacting with those tracks, VoiceOver does see all of the elements and one can certainly interact with controls and change input paths, etc. However, when trying to perform actions that involve routing the mouse pointer and doing a modified click, things don't work as expected. Actually, they don't work at all. The reason is that, when the tracks appear to be to the left of that pop-up button, they're actually not visible on screen and therefore cannot be accessed by the mouse pointer. Scrolling into view has certainly been suggested on the list as well as showing only the tracks in question. That's all good but an alternative is to simply page up or, even quicker, use the bank select on a control surface to expose the left-most tracks or, conversely, the right-most bank if that's what you need. This is one of those things that has come up on the list a few times but I've never seen this particular observation. Regardless, putting it out there.
