Envelope inconsistency

I've been working with Vegas for quite a while now, but was just wondering if anyone's got ideas about this...

After showing the volume and pan envelopes, adjusting them, and then hiding them again, they remain as you'd expect them to be, i.e. when you hide them and bring them back, everything is in tact. In the case of the FX envelopes, when you hide them, all the nodes you've created disappear.

Do you know why this is? Am I missing some obvious logic? I would have thought it'd be better to be able to hide them, and bring them back again as they were - as you can with volume and pan.

Thanks
Ben

You can hide/show envelopes in the top level view menu. If you remove an envelope in the track header, all points are cleared. This is true for both audio and video track envelopes, and the video event velocity envelope.

The "P" and "V" audio envelope keyboard commands invoke the view menu (hide/show), not add/remove as in the track header.

Thanks - I didn't realise you could do that from the View menu! The thing that threw me was that when you right click in the Envelope Edit mode, there's the option to show/not show the pan and volume envelopes and insert/remove them. With the FX envelopes, you can only insert/remove them from there. It'd be nice to be able to show/not show the FX from the right-clic menu. Also, how about having a shortcut for it, like P and V for pan and volume? Maybe F? Hope some of that makes sense...
