for some reason when ever i use vsts plugin windows they vanish after being open for not to long and i have to cloase them and reopen them its real annying. has anyone had this aswell

I haven't had that particular problem, but I have been getting some inconsistant behavior with plugin windows.

I often find that Ctrl+Alt+P will stop working as a shortcut for opening and closing the windows, but suddenly rectify itself somehow (it says Ctrl+P in Info View by the way - not Ctrl+Alt+P as it shows in the manual). And often windows will close themselves when selecting a different track and then going back again. Again, they seem to pop up after a while - without reason. I've tried different Preference settings, but haven't had any luck.

Having said that - these are 3rd party and mostly freeware plugins. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that's where the problem lies.

1st: are you guys on pc ?

2nd: If so, do you have microsoft intellipoint installed ? ( the krappy piece of software that comes with a microsoft mouse.)
