Unfreeze, volume and gain not the same?

When you freeze a track you get exactly what you have including pan, gain and level. .. so if you change any of that after you've frozen a track and then later unfreze and freeze again you won't get the same result as the first time you froze the track.
 
If you want to change something on a frozen track and still keep the settings you had when you froze it you can use Sonar's 'offset mode'. Since I don't know if you're familiar with this I'll explain:
 
You enter offset mode by pressing the 'o' key. (There's also an icon in the toolbars mix-module you can use)
When entering offset mode, it looks like all faders reset to zero. They don't however. Your mix is still there. What you've done is to enter like a new layer of sorts that lets you do changes to your mix relative to the mix you've already done.
 
Let's say you've made lots of volume automation on a track. .. Afterwards you feel that you'd like to lower the overall level of the track. One thing you could do is to start messing with the automation and lower all that.. Another thing you could do is to just enter offset mode and lower the volume there. The automation everything will remain unchanged. You've just lowered the overall level.
 
Maybe you could work in a similar way. If you want to change the volume of a frozen track, just jump into offset mode and do your changes there. If you want to unfreeze the track and freeze again the settings in the normal mix mode will be the same as when you first froze it.
 
... One warning though.. Be somewhat careful with what you do in offset mode. Sometimes you forget you've made changes there and get mad for not understanding why a track is panned one or another way even though the pan knob is set dead center :P
 
Another thing to remember is that it's not possible to automate in offset mode. So if sometime you try and automate something and it doesn't work, chack if you've entered offset by mistake.. :)

You'll have to do better than that if you want someone to understand and help you.. ;P
 
Please make a step by step list of how you performed these tests and also include info of what you expected to happen that didn't
