Latest few Sonar version BUGS (At least for me)

Irritant #1
Cloned a track with acoustic guitar clips...Played them side by side (Events cloned too) 
Cloned Track is 7DB louder than original. Not the first time I've noticed this behavior.
Usually I just change levels on other track to compensate...you would think by this time something as
basic as this would not be an issue. My RME Fireface getting weird? OR a bug?
Remember, everything should be EXACTLY the same..it's a clone..No change in output destination, no
touching it except to shift the clips a bit...hit play..Cloned track 7 DB louder. Not just coming out louder
but playing back louder on the respective track meters. It takes 7 db to get meters leveled with each other
on respective tracks.
 
Irritant #2
Open take lane..Switch to clip automation in one lane...Edit clip Volume (sometimes refuses) Then return
take lane to "clips". Lanes will not go back to normal or exhibit buggy
behavior until I collapse Track and globally turn clip automation on then off for the whole track.
Bang, everything's happy again.
 
Major irritant 3!
Audio sustain on certain tracks drops when a sudden event on another track (Like a drum hit) occurs.
Guitars ringing out as new drums come in for example. Drop in audio is noticeable enough to require me to
layer something over it or try to fix using clip or volume automation to cover up problem...sucks.
My first guess might be a sudden drum hit pushes mastering compression harder (I do sum everything to a single
Mastering Bus)...but dammit! I like the comp where it's at! lol
 
Any suggestions out there? 

Clone doesn't preserve the track gain setting. Not sure if this is deliberate or an oversight.

(At least for me)

 
Finally someone gets how to title a bug topic.

What can I say about the caps? Needy attention seeker! Interesting input thanks!
All Clone dialog parameters were checked.
Good to know I'm not the only one seeing the take lane bugs.
I think the concrete limiter may be a suspect.
I have checked gain but after the fact of course! I will try to be a bit more proactive

How about a speed comping issue as well?  I have this month's release but I haven't upgraded to the latest patch.  Last night when I clicked shift + space bar to loop a take, the take was the only thing audible.  All the other tracks were inaudible in this mode.  I tried changing my dim solo setting in preferences from where I had it at -6db to 0db which didn't help. 
 
I can't think of any other settings that would do this.  Am I missing something?

This isn't a bug - this is just how compressors work.  As Mr Anderton pointed out, you may have better results with multi-band compression.  Or, do your heavy compression on the tracks that need it, and take a more subtle approach on your busses.
 
This is about learning your craft.  You'd have the same problem in the analog world.  Nothing to do with Sonar per se.
