Was trying to do the vocals on Sled Zeppelin and on a few phrases when breaking down the words they act like there is no stop point on the timing track to the right and spreads a large section. I was able to break down the words, but then the phenome's are very weird and I can't see the timing points. Had to hover my mouse until the cursor changed to know when I was on a timing point. Then, a few phrases in it stops and goes back to correct.

It did this at three different points in the song.

I was able to get things set the way I want, but it was tough because if you miss seeing a hover change you grab the wrong phenome section.

We would need to see a sequence or a video of the problem. Struggling to understand from the description here.

Sorry, will make sure to take a screenshot if it happens again. I saved it, exited xLights and restarted and the issue is no longer present.

But, if I were to try and explain better, I have a timing called "Voice - Main" I set a start timing mark and end timing mark and shift-double clicked it and entered a phrase, which was completely visible on my screen. I then right-clicked and said to breakdown phrase at which time the phrase went a tan color, but scrolled right past my end mark off the right side of my screen. The words appeared, but again went way off the screen. To adjust the words to match the song I had to slowly move my mouse until the cursor changed to the right<->left arrows, and I could grab this blank area and adjust knowing it was my first word. Even though the word wasn't there I could right-click that area and tell it to Breakdown word. Then a long pink line showed up, again going off my screen to the right, but I could take that and slowly move my mouse and adjust the phenome's.

So, since it corrected itself after exiting, please ignore this. I'll make sure to grab that screenshot if it happens again. I posted because I noticed changes were made to this process in the Read Me file when I upgraded.

Yeah the changes were delete changed ... not breakdowns. Interesting that it corrected itself when you reloaded. So hard to know what triggered it.

Yeah, since that time I sequenced a few other songs including Small World Holiday which is 5:47 and has a ton of kids singing and it gave me no issue, so, *shrug*.

I do have an issue with one of my models crashing the layout, but I tried to be better about that and posted it in GitHub (including the files this time).

I expect the crash was fixed in .36.
