Reboot the computer again and revisit Logic.


If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in safe mode.  Safe mode will often correct weird software behavior by forcing the OS to clear caches, do disk repair and other self-maintenance and housekeeping and temporarily disables third-party mods.

You can exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally, then reevaluate the problem.


Finally, you can try uninstalling and then reinstalling Logic Pro.
