Thanks, Ron.

Edit --- correction:   If you don't change anything in the selection, the time range does not change.   But as soon as you USE the selection for something, and THEN select a track number, THEN the selection changes if and only if the clip in the newly selected track is SHORTER than the clip in the previous selected track.

That's not my experience. The time range changes the moment you select a clip that has a different length and/or start/end time than the previous selection. It doesnt only apply to selecting shorter clips, and the change isn't deferred until after you change the track selection as your description seems to suggest.
 
If you're seeing something different you need to give detailed steps.

@brundlefly,
 
I believe @williamcopper is selecting time and track number, not clicking clips.
 
The second animation I provided in post #9 (http://forum.cakewalk.com/FindPost/3500699) demonstrates the behavior that @williamcopper is reporting.  There has been a change in the behavior of cut/paste in some situations between Sonar X3e and Sonar Platinum.

Yes, I understood what you were demonstrating. As Craig mentioned, this has been previously discussed and acknowledged. I see now that what William was describing in his second post was the same issue stated a different way. I misunderstood what he meant by "use the selection".
