display bug in Reaper

[jtn191]

So I am experiencing an issue in Reaper: any time the Chow Tape plugin window is open, none of the Reaper meters or other vst windows update their displays. I don't think this issue was present in the previous version. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the bug report! Would it be possible to share the diagnostic info from the plugin so we can tell which operating system, plugin format, etc, that you are using when the issue is happening? This information can be copied from the plugin using the "Copy Diagnostic Info" option in the settings menu.

If you're running on Windows, I would recommend trying different options of the OpenGL setting (also in the settings menu). We did have to change the default settings for OpenGL in the latest release, in order to maintain compatibility with some older PCs, and in order to enable the new accessibility features. Unfortunately, the change in default settings seems to cause some poor behaviour when interacting with some hosts (notably Reaper).

Thanks! OpenGL setting fixed it.

Changing to OpenGL fixed it!
