wavepad for mac there is no top control bar

Its almost like it needs to refresh once you rewake the laptop.

I would try switching applications to get it to reappear but nothing got it to show up until I went into system preferenceskeyboardcustomize control strip.

With that said, I think I found a quicker more convenient way to reset it moving forward.

As soon as you let go of the fn button the touchbar reappears.

The tap the fn key fix seems to work for me to bring the icons back.

I dont know if its time-based as there appears to be no consistency as to when or why the icons disappear, but usually everything except the esc button will disappear.

Sometimes if I touch where the iconsbuttons should be they will reappear.

However, I usually I then have to do the same thing as you - go to System Preferences and tweak what the Touch Bar shows to reset the icons.

Out of curiosity, are you hooked up to an external monitor(s) when this happens I have only noticed this issue when I am hooked up to dual monitors via USB-C to DVI adapters.

Will have a go again tonight to see if its a persistent issue.

This is probably because theres no change to the display for the escape key (while the others are refreshed).

Im also encountering the issue with a connected external display, but didnt verify it yet without a display.

It seems the keys disappear after a bit of inactivity (when the keyboard backlight would also be dimmed), but are not reinstated.

I also noticed that the keys work even while theyre not displayed (although theyre hard to find).

There is obviously a problem here that Apple needs to look into.

Thank you for the fix though, my system worked great for 3 weeks and today this started.

I went into settings and made a change in there to have them come back up.

I also noticed if I touch a spot on the bar where there should be a button, that button shows again.
