I mean program numbers > names of instruments But it is solved now. When I have selected a dssi in the tab 'plugin' and I go to the tab 'track', at that point only the program numbers are displayed!!!

Another little gui thing I have with your latest version. The names in the menu: file, Edit, Track, View etc. are not displayed totally.
