Interesting clip split/edit situation. What am I missing?

This has happened to me a few times in different situations. I'm guessing there's something similar I'm not seeing. Maybe someone can shed some light for me?

What happens is this.

Sound on sound mode
I have a track with a number of lanes.
I split assorted clips at common spots
When I go to edit the ends, only the slip edit tool appears thus preventing me from editing the individual clip ends separately.

My work around has been to drag selected, non time connected clips to a different track, edit them and move hem back. At this point I can edit the remaining clips as there are no longer shared boundaries.

This does not happen most of the time and I've been unable to see a common issue to these events.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...

    Hold down the CTRL key while the Smart tool is in the top half of the clip and the tool changes to the cropping tool so that you can edit the ends of your clips separately.
     
    EDIT:  The use of the CTRL modifier is documented in the New features section of the Help for the 2016.08 release as Take Management & comping improvements.
     
    Hope this helps,

    Thanks Ron...

    I'll try that next time I run into it.

    But I'm still curious why it happened? Normally, I get three tools at the edge. Fade/slip/move. I hope these are the proper names of them but with my memory, probably not.

    The fade tool allows me to drag a fade in/out to the edge. The move allows me to trim the clip, and the slip simultaneously adjust leading/trailing edge.

    I'm usually fine with this but run into the described scenario a couple of times now.

    I double checked record mode thinking it something related to comp mode which I still don't use. I am always in sound on sound mode.

    Thanks for the suggestion. It sounds much easier than my work around for sure...

    Still hoping to discover the why though...

    When working in take lanes it assumes you are comping. In Sonar speak this means that you generally only want one take lane audible at one time. When you split a clip with overlapping clips they should all split automatically at the same point. This creates an edit point so that if you move the split point of one clip the others move with it.
     
    In my experience this is just the way it works when using take lanes.

    Yes Reginald...

    If you're in comping mode, but in sound on sound I sometimes use multiple simultaneous clips/lanes. Though that is not the case/issue here.

    For example, I'm comping a vocal part but need to edit out a sneeze/grunt/etc. where I intend to remove spaces. Yes, I could do that with volume automation, but it's not my preference...

    My procedure usually works just fine but this thread is really regarding why is it occasionally not behaving as expected.

    I'm guessing it's something I'm doing/not doing or seeing/not seeing, but I have not been able to discover the reason.

    Thanks.
