UPDATE 06/12/20: Same behavior on 11.0.39 with or w/o OpenGL rendering

I purchased Waveform 11 and have installed it on a couple different machines while I'm learning it.

I have it installed on a nice, powerful Win10 machine and also on a little Ubuntu 19.10 Linux box. It only has 4Gig of Ram and a dual core i5 but it's great for portability and has plenty of horsepower to run all the demos at below 15% cpu. Waveform runs great on it most of the time.

I was going through the step sequencer tutorial video and ran into a problem.


When the initial drum loop is chopped into a few segments to isolate and import into the MultiSampler it simply doesn't work on Ubuntu 19.10. Grabbing the "file" icon on the wave clip and attempting to drag that into the left panel of the Multisampler doesn't actually do anything. It's as though Waveform thinks I haven't even let go of the mouse button. If I move the cursor over another track I can easily drop the clip there, but not into Multisampler. I also tried just moving a loop into a track and then moving that, via the file icon, into Multisampler. That didn't work either.

I can drop loops from the Search box into the Multisampler. There are times however, when even that doesn't work and Waveform acts more like the Multisampler is actually another application floating above Waveform. Sometimes Waveform pops in front of the Multisampler when selecting things in the Waveform window. When that is the case I have to close the plugin and launch it again for Waveform to recognize it and leave it floating above the tracks.

Using exactly the same technique on the Windows box works just as it should following the tutorial video.

Anybody else noticed this?

I am a Waveform Newb - and loving it by the way! I'm also a developer so I don't think the above is stupid user error. However, that's always possible. :-)

Well, at least I'm not imagining it. :-)

Thanks for the reply.

Another Ubuntu use here and I constantly drag and drop from the file browser to the tracks or multisampler but I don't have the issues you two are having. I'm assuming you're using the standard Ubuntu Gnome desktop and not something else?

@gavindi
Does DnD from track (splitted piece) to any sampler plugin work for you?
I don't think that this DnD implementation is DE (XDND) related.

I don't have any trouble dragging from the browser to tracks or the MultiSampler. So far though I am unable to drag anything from a track into the MultiSampler - edited or not. If I drag a loop from the browser directly to a track and then grab the file handle on that clip I cannot drag and drop it over the left panel on the MultiSampler.

The problem is identical with the Drum Sampler. No problem dragging from the Browser but impossible to drag the track clip into the Drum Sampler.
