Bredo my old chimpy chomp , do you remember a conversation that you and I and a few others had with one of the mods asking for the white focus to be removed from the mixer and the reply was …" not possible to remove it at this present time ( 7.0.0 )" ?
Now to me that sounded like a hint that they were working on it which means hopefully we should be seeing this crap behaviour removed in an update . I have faith in Steinberg and I do believe this will be the case one day .
So the mixer hasn’t grown on you so far then 
?
