Blocks disappear and then re-appear

I notice in the FM9 editor that random blocks will disappear for a second or two and the just re-appear. It's never the same block and does not seem to change the patch. Is it a stability thing with the editor since it's still on it originally release?

Confirmed too. Sitting here, jamming away, Mac by my side, out of the corner of my eye, I see something in FM Edit change, I look over at the screen, and one of the blocks (chorus) just appears on the screen. It was there in the unedited patch, so my corner-eye view was probably the block disappearing.

+1 here, also a tad of latency response when saving in comparison to FM3 Edit but not too annoying.

Has anyone had a selected block disappear (as in cut or deleted) spontaneously inside the FM9 editor, but doesn't come back? Typically I'll have a block selected, I've made some edits and while I'm playing away I'll look up and see the block is gone. Sometimes where it even breaks the signal flow due to it's position in the signal path. I've had it happen a few times now. It only happens when I'm using the editor. I'm able to reload the preset (minus however many minutes of editing I'd been maknig - without saving of course). Seems very odd though.

In my experience there was no need to do anything other than wait... It's only the graphic in the editor not anything on the FM9 itself.

Sorry - I edited my opening question. I've actually had the signal path broken due to a disappearing block (that does not come back). That happened for the 1st time tonight. I've also seen unused and un-selected blocks on the grid doing strange things from time to time too. Today was the first time it set me back when editing.

I have not seen this yet, but I only have logged a few hours in front of FM9 edit since I got mine, I do know that an inadvertent strike on your delete key while a block is selected will result in a deleted block with no shunt.

Yes - It's possible I may have inadvertently hit a key command, but it's happened enough times now I'm developing trust issues with the editor. LOL

I hear you, as I'm playing now I'm seeing some of the disabled blocks disappear and reappear, v2.0 will be here soon enough I suspect, and when it arrives it will be sensational I'm guessing.
