Clip will not allow looping

I'm not a looper and never used the Loop Construction stuff before, so I am probably doing something stupid, but I can't seem to get a clip into Loop Construction view.
 
I attached a picture of the clip. The context menu has the Groove clip greyed-out and the Clip inspector has no Loop check-box.
 
But if I drag the clip to the Media browser to save it and then drag it back in to the track, I now see that stuff as in the second view.
 
I'm confused - what am I doing wrong?

Have you used audiosnap on the clip and not bounced it?  That would exhibit the behaviour that you are experiencing.

Bounce to clips or bounce to tracks and try again. It is basically the same as jb101 is saying.

Thanks, guys. That's it.
 
My compositions do not usually have any beat-oriented or pitch-oriented components, so this is an area I seldom visit. Even the slicing I was looking at was not for beat purposes, but possible scrambling/glitching.

I guess I'm lazy, but a cursory inspection of the preferences and some manual pages does not show me how to disable Audiosnap.
 
I don't need the radius pitchshifting engines or beat-detections to be enabled by default, but I don't see where I can turn them off.
 
EDIT: does this need to be done in the startup template file for new tracks?

You don't disable it as such, just bouncing to clip will remove AS from the equation, and it won't affect any of your templates until you invoke it on a clip

Some additional info:
 
- AudioSnap state is a clip property. It cannot exist on a track before something is recorded/imported, and should never be enabled by default.
 
- You can see the AS status of a particular clip in Audiosnap section of the Clip tab in the Track Inspector.
 
- If no changes have been made to a clip, you can just uncheck the Enable box there or open the AS palette (Hotkey A), and click the On/Off button with the relevant clip(s) selected to turn it off.
 
- You can use Edit > Select > All Audiosnap/Slipstretched to find out which clips in the project have AS enabled and/or disable it on all of them by the one of the above methods.
 
- Only if you've actually made changes to a clip using Audiosnap should you have to bounce the clip to render those changes, but there have been reports of AS getting into a state where it can't be disabled without doing that even though no changes are known to have been made.
