Loop Tweaker bug in Wavelab 7
Switching from audio file to another with having the dialog open, pressing the small
"Memory" buttons might have caused a crash (when the number of loops was
different in the audio files).

Pitch quantizing
When used with files other than mono 44.1 / 48kHz, a crash was happening.
Silence dialog
The option "Background noise" could not be enabled.
Opening WMA files
Opening WMA files containing non-ascii characters, such as Japanese, was not
possible.
"What's this" in Montage Tool Windows
Clicking on "What's this" inside the Montage Tool windows did not display the help
dialog.
Plug-ins with a generic UI in Audio Montage
Loading a preset did not update the controls (but the processor was updated).
Editing the plug-in, closing it, and reopening, did not update the controls.
Crossfade when resizing multiple clips
When mode "Allow multiple automatic crossfades" is activated: when resizing
multiple selected clips layed out on different tracks (dragging one clip edge with the
ALT key), only one auto-crossfade was performed.
Audio Montage templates
An Audio Montage template could only be saved if the associated folder inside the
WaveLab preferences already existed.

CD Report
The font size was not taken into account for the custom header text.

Locked clips
It is now possible to make an audio range selection over a clip even if it is locked.
The message that appears when clicking on a locked clip can be hidden ("Don't
show again" option).
Navigator tool window
Double-clicking inside that window, would undock it.
Time ruler offset
When an offset was set for the time ruler: Clip list: the start and end times were
displayed incorrectly (the offset was added twice). Marker list (montage and audio
file): Editing a marker position did not produce the expected result.
Batch processing and VST-3 plug-ins with a generic UI
Changes of plug-in parameters were not saved correctly.
Batch processor error recovery
When a batch process was not able to write a file (eg. "output file already opened in
WaveLab") and a multi-pass plug-in was used (eg. Normalizer), it was not possible
to close the batch window after the error was encountered.
Cloning a batch
When cloning a batch file, the output path setting was not copied.
Meta-Pass plug-ins and number of cores
When using the Meta-normalizer or Meta-leveller inside a batch processor, while the
number of cores was set to 2 or more in the batch options, some files were not
processed.
Plug-in error while batch processing
If a plug-in error has happened during batch process, WaveLab could become less
reliable later because of memory problems.
VST-3 plug-in presets in Batch Processor
Selecting a preset for a VST-3 plug-in within the Batch Processor workspace might
have resulted in a crash.
Save Master Section preset
When loading a Master Section preset from a (custom) sub-folder, it was only
possible to save that preset with the "save as" dialog in the root folder.

Meter orientation and "Hide frame" setting
The Meter orientation and "Hide frame" settings were not saved and restored in
Workspace layouts.
Master Section on/off while playing back
During playback, toggling the Master Section on/off button (bottom right of the
Master Section), might have caused the play position to jump backwards.
Closing a Montage with plug-ins
When closing a Montage with some plug-ins opened, a crash could happen.

Plug-in value editing
It was not possible to edit the numeric values of some plug-ins (e.g. Sonnox)
properly by using the keyboard. In general, value editing with the keyboard, has
been improved.
if these key commands are not captured by the focused plug-in. Usually, by clicking
on the plug-in’s window, the keyboard shortcuts are automatically assigned to them.
Selecting something different within WaveLab focusses the keyboard commands on
WaveLab (host) again. But from 7.1.1, if you can also press the Escape Key for
having the same effect.
VST-2 plug-in resizing
VST-2 plug-ins did not resize them properly when opened from the batch processor.
VST-2 preset names
Loading a VST-2 preset file did not update the preset box title with the preset name.
VST-3 plug-in resizing
For certain VST-3 plug-ins, the plug-in did not resize itself properly.
Sonnox DeBuzzer hum frequency parameter
The hum frequency parameter did not consider the actual samplerate of the audio
signal. It was set to 44.1kHz permanently.

External Gear plug-in
Rendering could produce audio gaps.
Dot at the end of a plug-in manufacturers name
If a plug-in vendors name ends with a dot (e.g. "iZotope, Inc."), it was not possible to
save presets. Now WaveLab removes the dot.
Mouse Wheel support
Mouse wheel editing is now supported by more VST-3 plug-ins than before.
Plug-in activation
When using enhanced plug-in title bars (default), the plug-in was not activated by
clicking inside the graphical user interface. The only way to activate the plug-in was
to click on the title bar.
Opening the Record dialog
Sometimes a crash occurred when opening the record dialog before playback was
started.
File Format Dialog > Change sample rate or sub-format
When trying to specify a sample rate or a new WAV sub-format which is not PCM, a
message box is displayed. After selecting the "Don't show again" option it was not
possible to change the settings again until WaveLab was restarted.
Rendering regions
By choosing the "regions" mode in the rendering window, the file name in "create
named files" normally switched to "regions names are used". But after the first
rendering, this was not possible anymore, unless the option "Create names file(s)
was toggeled twice.
Switcher: Auto Hiding
This option was only working when the active workspace was an Audio File
Workspace.

Compatibility issue with iLok licensing dialog
Certain third-party plug-ins using the iLok protection have shown a reminder license
dialog, which has blocked WaveLab (when opening the plug-in from within
WaveLab). Limitation: the license dialog will still be blocked at program startup. It is
recommended to register the plug-in before launching WaveLab.
Large popup menus when 2 screens of different sizes are used
When displaying a large popup menu on the smallest screen, only part of it was
selectable (eg. Master Section plug-in menu).
Pitch of A3 preference
This value (Otions / Glopbal Preferences / Formats) did not work properly.
