Has anyone been testing the copy/move clips in Lanes issues?

I have exercised this a bit over the last day or so (my 71 take lane adventure is described elsewhere) and I can tell you that I believe most of the drag-drop issues with clips between lanes and tracks have been addressed.
 
I'm not promising that X3 is bug-free in this regard; merely that it seems much better.

I have been comping like a lunatic the last couple of days and no issues at all, all works fine for me.
 
My only slight annoyance (its not a bug) is that when I stop recording a track or tracks and you are recording in a loop point, you stop recording at the end of the loop then naturally you get a tiny bit of recording at the start of the loop that gets auto promoted into the take, which you then have to go in and clean up before you even begin to organise your takes.
 
Not sure how one could address that.

I find copying/moving clips (without dragging) in X3 still inconvenient because if you copy the clip in Lane 1 and then select Lane 3 and paste it, the clip still lands on Lane 1.

hmm... How about if you "deselect all" (Ctrl+Shift+A) before making the paste?

Okay. Just thought I'd check. So basically editing, although a little better, is still a pain in X3. This does not bode well for any possible upgrade cash coming from me. 90%+ of my issues with Sonar are editing related. Tracking is acceptable but not perfect and mixing is actually quite pleasant but editing... oof.

Hmmm...

I guess it will feel better for me as I usually use drag functions as opposed to copy/paste... It sounds better in moving multiple clips as in X2 I'm forced to always move 1 clip at a time...

It is a drag that the copy paste isn't more intelligent yet... I hope this is addressed in X3c? This creates extra tedium needing correction... Which is also still the case for zooming Lanes!

I agree this behavior is not ideal.  Take editing would be improved by having the copied clip paste directly to the selected take lane (similar to copying to new track) with no obvious downside.
 
That being said, I find the new take lanes much better overall.  Especially using multi-miced instruments such as drums.  I avoided using take lanes on drums in X2a, preferring to use 8.5.3 and its layers instead.  But with X3 the take lanes are much more useful.  I have not experienced any weird behavior (e.g., clips ending up in the wrong spot) from editing the way I often did in X2a.  Still withholding judgement until I have more projects under my belt with X3, but so far so good!

Copy/paste into lanes is still a problem for me in X3 on my Win7 system.  I want to copy a clip, select a newly-created lane in another track, and paste the copied clip into that lane.  No dice.  The clip can land in any lane except the one I selected.  It can even land over top of another clip in an occupied lane--and then the real fun begins.  The clip that had been there below the just-pasted clip is erased forever!  I can't even drag the just-pasted clip to another lane and see the older clip still there.  It's gone.
 
Really, now!  It should be no problem to paste a clip into any lane you want.  You could paste into any layer in X1!
