Opening a med file in an older format: Arranger Canvas not displayed

[ploxmox]

Last week I compiled and installed the latest MusE version from the github repository under Ubuntu Studio 16.04.2. I loaded a med file into MusE. I created this med file last year using a development version of MusE from that time.

The first time I loaded that med file into MusE, I was told that the med file format is from version 2.1 or so, and that it will be converted to the new format when I save the loaded file. I saved the loaded med file.

Then I noticed that I cannot see the Arranger Canvas of the opened and converted med file, I only see the left part of the Arranger Window with the specifications for every track. I do not see the parts of the song of that med file.

Workaround:

I managed to resolve the problem: Moving the mouse over the right edge of the Arranger Window (where no Arranger Canvas was displayed) turned the mouse pointer into a two-sided arrow (an arrow to the left and to the right). I then moved the two-sided arrow to the left: Now I can see the Arranger Canvas again.

How about fixing this behaviour? I.e like this way:

"If a med file in an obsolete file format version is opened for the first time in a current MusE version, then make sure that the upper left corner of the Arranger Canvas is displayed at the middle of the vertical screen resolution". Example: The vertical screen resolution is 1024 pixels; the upper left corner of the Arranger Canvas is then displayed at the vertical screen position of 512 pixels, seen from the left edge of the screen.

Regards,

Jens
