i'm wondering why sonar is even "re-selecting" anything - the selection was made before the process - it's like sonar's making new versions of the clips/selection and replacing the originals with those, rather than changing the existing clips/selection in place - that could explain the behaviour, but it's all speculation without access to the code ;-)
 
whatever, the fact that the selection is changed is unintuitive and unexpected, so at least you could say it's a ux or ui issue

I would agree that it isn't a bug, per se, but I think the real issue here is that Sonar changes the selection at all. If I select something, I'd like the selection to stay no matter what I do next, unless and until I change the selection myself.
 
Regards,
Dan

that's the thing on a nutshell - why is sonar changing what's selected

So did anyone ever enter a formal Problem Report for this?
