When doing voice over, the little target on the left of the timeline (you'll see the levels indicators appear when it's active) sometimes doesn't show up, and I can not arm the audio track. It's very frustrating. One time it shows up and works, another time it's not visible and the track will arm.

How do I keep the that little arming target visible at all times?

What aim I doing to make it disappear?

I'm using 8c.

it sounds like the track header is too narrow. Take the cursor and pull the header to the right and make it a bit bigger and that SHOULD take care of it.

Expanding the track was the first thing I tried Dan. I can work on a project. Everything works fine, then close the project, re-open, and the little bugger is gone. Then ten minutes later while I'm editing something else the little bugger appears again!!! It's like chasing a ghost.

I have never had any kind of bug or problem with 8c. Am I clicking something or somewhere to cause this to happen?

oh OK then the only other thing I can think of is to call a "ghostbuster".

Serioulsy though, I've never seen that and honestly can't think of anything that would cause that.
Sorry.
