That doesn't work in the latest CVS snapshot at least.  (Ardour/GTK
0.530.0 running with libardour 0.828.0)

OK, that makes sense.  I suggest renaming it to "draw region gain
envelope" or something.  This feature actually matches my needs (ducking
transient pops from lapel mics) better than the automation strip anyway
so I'll use it :)

The ENVELOPE "visible" button in the popup editor is a bit intermittent
for me.  On one region I just tested it works fine, but on another, it
does nothing.  The only way to see the envelope is to hover over it in
"gain" mode.

Now that I've opened the region editor, how do I close it?

Thanks,
Jody
