What is happening here is not a bug, just a "feature" of the Library. You see, the Library is context sensitive, meaning that it will display settings/presets depending on what element is selected in a channel strip. For example, if you look at the currently active channel strip on the left-hand side of the Arrange page, take note of these elements: - Settings - Inserts - I/O http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6596/logic5.jpg Now let's discuss what is happening in your case. In my screen shot below you will notice how the "Settings" area of the channel strip is highlighted. Look closely, you will see a white outline around it. This indicates that what is being shown in the Library is related directly to that highlighted element. In our case, the Library is displaying the various "Channel Strip Settings." http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/8343/logic1.jpg Next, I have clicked on the very first plugin inserted into my channel strip. In this case, a Compressor. Notice how, because I have clicked on the Compressor plugin, that plugin now has the white highlight around it. Take a look at the Library. It is now showing me the presets of the Compressor plugin and no longer displays any of the Channel Strip Settings. http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/611/logic2w.jpg In the next shot, I have now clicked on the second inserted plugin, a Space Designer reverb. Notice the white outline around it. Look over at the Library. The Library is now displaying all of the presets for that particular Space Designer. http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/6707/logic3.jpg Lastly, I have now clicked on the Input of the channel strip. In this case, the Ultrabeat plugin that is currently providing the signal for that channel. Notice the white outline around it. Again, you will see how the Library has changed to display only the presets of that particular Ultrabeat plugin. http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/4439/logic4.jpg All that is happening is that you are unknowingly clicking on the various elements of your channel strip, thereby changing what the Library is currently showing you. It is a simple matter of clicking back onto the "Settings" area of your channel strip to have the Library display the various Channel Strip Settings once again.

I have been using Logic since version 5 and upgraded to 8 the day it was released. I posted this topic in the Bugs forum but after 3 weeks no one has responded. Does anyone else notice that some of the key commands programmed in Logic 8 under the U.S. Standard key command template do not work properly? Or that certain keys on the keyboard do not actually correspond to what is written in the key command window? Here's some examples: 1. Go To Position is supposed to be "/" on the NUMBER PAD, at least that is what it says in the key command window. For me, on my full-sized aluminum Apple Keyboard, pressing "/" on the number pad engages Cycle Mode. If I use the "/" on the Alphanumeric section of the keyboard, this brings up Go To Position. 2. The "=" sign on the NUMBER PAD is supposed to be programmed for Merge Regions/Notes, again, this is what it says in the Key Commands Window. In order for me to merge regions together, I actually have to press "=" on the Alphanumeric keyboard instead. Pressing "=" on the Number Pad performs Set Rounded Locators by Region, even though that command is supposed to be executed when the "=" sign on the Alphanumeric keyboard is pressed. 3. While the Key Commands Window is open, pressing the "-" on the NUMBER PAD only brings up one command as a result: Decrease last clicked parameter by 1. Now, if I press the "-" key on the Alphanumeric keyboard while the Key Commands Window is open, it will scroll through three different options: -- Decrease last clicked parameter by 1. -- Note Overlap Correction -- Remove Overlaps When Logic displays the command for "Note Overlap Correction" and "Remove Overlaps", the Key Commands window tells me that this is executed by pushing the "-" key on the NUMBER PAD. Remember, I was pushing "-" on the Alphanumeric keyboard to find these functions in the Key Commands Window. The strange thing is that I cannot for the life of me get "Remove Overlaps" to work, regardless of which "-" key I use. If I highlight two regions and then choose "Remove Overlaps" by right-clicking and picking it from the pop-up menu, it works fine. It seems like many of the keys that double on the Alphanumeric keyboard and the Number Pad are working backwards, even though they are not programmed that way, or at least, they do not display that way in the Key Commands Window. And again, some commands, like "Remove Overlaps, do not work at all.
