SHOW US that "Zero Latency" isn't, if you use spectral bands
If you're on Zero Latency mode and enable Spectral on a band, you get several thousand samples of latency—5120 (106.7 ms) for me (not sure if this varies).
The UI should reflect that. There should be SOME indication that "Zero Latency" is *not* the current state of the plugin... Make "Zero Latency" red, or call it something else when there's a spectral band enabled, or something....

Hi Peter,
You should be able to see that in the bottom bar. Spectral processing is always a linear phase process. If you're not using any spectral bands, you will see the processing mode in the bottom bar (zero latency/natural phase/linear phase). If you will add a spectral band, the bottom bar will be updated with the processing mode of the non-spectral bands, followed with the spectral icon and the linear phase resolution that is used for the spectral band.
If I have a single EQ node, and it's set to spectral, showing the state of nodes that aren't even in the app is simply illogical IMHO.
Many people have been getting stuck on this.
I'd suggest making the bottom bar report a selected node only
