The shortcut for showing and hiding returns in the arrangement view is CTRL + ALT + R on Windows.

It works most of the time for me, but randomly stops working. Currently, even restarting Live doesn't help.

I'm on Live 12 but I think I've run into this on older versions too.

Anyone have any idea what's going on, and how to fix it?

Hello It depends I think of the focus view (the focus view can be switched with 'tab', there is an option for that in the preferences

You're referring to switching between arrangement & session view(?)

I am on arrangement view. Tabbing to session view and back doesn't fix this problem.

In arrangement, show the tracks view at the bottom, click a header of a track then ctrl+shift+R will show/hide returns at the bottom

Click a track header of the arrangement tracks at the right, then the shortcut will show/hide those return tracks only in arrangement, it depends of the focus
