HI all,
first of all i wish a good year 2022 to everyone.

I have a problem with the latest director update. 20.1.24.24.0 64 bit

I imported a new video , then i would overlay a custom title all along the video.

In the previous version the title overlayed was always visibile, either in preview mode (paused) or in the run mode ( run).

Now instead then the title is visibile in preview only if the correspondent track is selected, otherwise it disappear behind the main track.

So, when i run the video in preview the title with the main track selected the custom title disappear , or goes behind i do not know, and so it is not visible.

I have tryied any sort of fusion mode, as per the context menu, but nothing. I cannot overlay the title or the tittle goes behind the video.
In the previuos versione this thing works perfectly.
Do you have any suggestion?

I have attached two image of the fact, the title you can see is a little withe brand with a little dog print in the middle.

Thank you very much in advance

I only see that happen if the scrubber is at the first frame of the title. If you pause on any other frame the title remains visible no matter which other track you click on:

I'm not sure if this is a new feature or a bug. If it's intentional, then it's an easy way to move objects on the preview window without accidentally selecting the title.

Piero_milani_1 - This issue has been duplicated on my system when the Pref/Editing/Reverse timeline track order is used and your title is at a lower number track like #2 and your videos are on the higher tracks like #4 as shown on your screenshots.

The placement of titles should always be on a higher number track regardless of whether the timeline track is reversed in prefs or not and the issue is solved.
