Bug Number: MCDEV-16591. (Titler+) Changes to font size were not retained when switching between Move Mode and Text Mode.

Bug Number: MCDEV-14303. (Titler+) Each Backspace (Delete) entry on an empty text layer was registered as an event, preventing the Undo command from functioning as expected, and sometimes causing text to vanish.

Bug Number: MCDEV-16414. (Titler+) Quitting Media Composer while Avid Titler+ Dashboard and Effect Editor were open caused a Segmentation fault.

Bug Number: MCDEV-15669. (Titler+) Performance was significantly affected when multiple lines of text extended beyond boundaries of the viewer.

Bug Number: MCCET-4430. Nested clips that contained offline media appeared colored, as though they were online, even if missing media was located in a nested layer.

Thanks, Carl. Do we know if there are any instructions on whether to create a new User Profile and/or new custom Workspaces, after moving from v22.4 to 22.7? For best results with Titler+ and the new Workspace monitor settings?

There's nothing in the ReadMe saying you need to. For what it's worth, I went from 2022.4 to 2022.7 and kept my existing user setting. I haven't had any trouble with the new workspace settings.

(I can't speak to Titler+, as I don't use  it.)

Thanks, Carl.  I installed 22.7 with NDI and SRT ='ON and had no issues, fyi. I like Titler+ titles, they look sharp in UHD.

I still work in HD, and if they want fancy stuff like words on the screen there's a whole graphics department just sitting around trying to decide what to have for lunch. :)

Excellent! Have anything on the menu.
Come to think of it- I never met a graphic artist that wanted to switch to editing....hmm.

Really hoping these:

Bug Number: MCCET-4449. When working with MultiCamera sequences, Media Composer performance slowed down and eventually did not respond.

Bug Number: MCCET-4478. Avid NEXIS users experienced significant performance issues when bin indexing and noticed bandwidth irregularities in the Avid NEXIS Management Console.

In combination with the fixes in 2022.4 get things up to speed. 

Upgraded to 2022.7, cannot see Premiere/Resolve keyboard in my Settings.

My settings are relatively new, created from scratch on 2022.4 arrival.

Any more information on this fixed issue:

Bug Number: MCCET-4478. Avid NEXIS users experienced significant performance issues when bin indexing and noticed bandwidth irregularities in the Avid NEXIS Management Console.

Does that pertain to folder database rebuilds?

There's an update settings command almost hidden in the user settings menu, along with create/import user, might be worth giving it a try.

we are working with 2021.12.4 

is 2022.7 stable...should we upgrade?
