I am recording vocals for my project in a separate file

 
Just curious - why are you doing that?

When I have a music bed that is rich with FXs etc. I sometimes export a mix to separate project just for tracking vocals at low latency vs. freezing everything. And you can't freeze buses, so there is that too.
 

I wouldn't go that far with mixing if I didn't have the vocals in the project, but that's just me.

Fairy 'Nuff. Usually there were scratch vocals to begin with.
 
As my olpal says, that's what makes a horse race.

You should make that your avatar.

It looks like some kind of Clip Grouping gone wrong.
 
Like the two clips are grouped so they follow each other vertically but for some reason don't move together horizontally.
 
The fact the clip that is actually being clicked and dragged eats the other is normal behavior. What isn't normal is how the second clip gets sucked into the other one.
 
What is the relation of the two clips? Were they recorded in the same pass? Are they grouped? What is the difference between the two clips that suck each other in and the ones surrounding them (the ones that do not move)?
 
This is all very odd.

They were originally separate takes in a single pass. I needed to run some pitch correction on them, so I split them out horizontally as you see so that I could correct them all in one go. After the correction was done I Applied the Effect and removed Melodyne, and in fact, that correction was done in a completely different project because of this probably related issue I'm having, and then copied back to this project. But ultimately they will sound together as a group, which is why I was trying to drag them into vertical alignment. I've never done any intentional clip grouping.
 
 

I posted a video of moving track audio (via up/down arrows) through visible lanes wiping the audio a while back. It looks like it may be related, except you are dragging it versus using arrow keys. In that case if take lanes were collapsed it added a new take lane, if expanded it wiped the audio.

Makes me wonder if it is linked to the "replace old with new" in the preferences/paste special dialog.
 
Edit: It looks like the screen capture above is related to this thread.
