Disaster Recovery in Waveform possible?

[Kodokushi]

Hi fellow Waveformers and Tracktionists,

i need your help to hopefully recover a days work in Waveform from total disaster.

What happened?

Well, i used ctrl+z a couple of times quite rapidly in a row ... and KA-BOOM ... all tracks which had content went BLANK (Arranger, Chord, Track 1 - 5)

Now my tracks look like this:

Track Content gone.png

And Track 6 (Lead) and Track 7 - which didn't hold any clips before disaster struck - look strange or weird now.
And Track 8 - which i added in the aftermath - looks even weirder.

But the weirdest thing of all is, that the empty look of the tracks is deceiving.
Because the content seems still to be there, which i realized by clicking the transport buttons.
I can hear it, but can't see or access the tracks content anymore ...

I tried all kinds of zooms, restoring from backup etc.
Nothing helped to change the weird scenary so far ...
Is my Waveform kaputt?
Is their a way to recover my work?

Thank you in advance ...

Hi,
show or hide input meters mode is enabled here.
go to settings and look at keyboard shortcuts
what keystroke to press to switch to normal view.
My keyboard has shift+F10.

@imstre Heartfelt thanks to you!

Function key F12 brought everything back from hiding to where it belonged.

I wonder what other "dangers" for newbies llike me lurk under the hood of Waveform, with all its not-so-well- or not-at-all-documented features. Not to speak of the frequent crashes ...

This DAW somehow reminds me of ... (replace "World" with "Waveform" in the lyrics ...lol)
