"In development."
I know. I've known for about ripple delete for about a year. They keep coming out with fluff instead of fixing what was broken (delete hole and ripple edit), and everyone is falling all over themselves congratulating each and every upgrade. Frustrating to see when, as a loyal customer since DOS days, my bug report submissions regarding delete hole (ripple edit) go unanswered and I feel like my hard-earned money goes for naught.
I've seen the workarounds to delete hole (ripple edit) and to utilize a bunch of convoluted type of solutions such as "copy a dummy clip in the empty space, then delete hole (ripple edit)" is not a serious option in my workflow. Productivity would grind to a standstill if I had to delete hole (ripple delete) in this manner. Easier to use an older version to delete hole (ripple edit) until they decide to fix some real "under the hood" issues, like delete hole (ripple edit) instead of fawning over visuals and fluffy crap to attract more hobbyists.
I know I'm not the only one who desires they "fix" the delete hole issue (or as the new functionality will be called ripple edit).
Lance Riley, Cakewalk techs, Craig Anderton are you listening? If there is no concrete answer to the delete hole (ripple edit) broken functionality, please do not attempt to placate me through empty promises that delete hole (ripple edit) is "in development." This I know. Just do me (and all of us who desire a fixed delete hole (ripple edit)) a favor and put it under "Fixes" in bold type that either "delete hole is fixed" or "ripple edit replaces broken delete hole functionality."
Thanks in advance.

Ripple Editing falls under the "In development" stage here:
