Let us hope midi editing gets some love in 2016...

Including things that aren't technically  "broken" in the most pedantic sense, but are entirely unusable in the real world, such as documented here:

Can I also stretch the note endings of the notes to match to nearest bar/beat as per steps specified?

There may be a CAL script for that, but I'm not aware of any option other than adjusting manually with snap on.

Can it be a feature request?

Actually if you select Quantize Duration, note endings will quantize to the nearest rhythmic value. However, there's no way to specify "only quantize duration if the note lengthens." For example if a note is only a few ticks past an eighth note and you quantize duration to eighth notes, it will quantize to the note value it's closest to, not the next one.

It would be nice if it works like if we keep the mouse pointer near to the starting of any note that will adjusts the starting of the selected notes and when we will keep the pointer near the ending of a note then the eniding of the selected notes will be adjusted.
 
I am asking too much !!

Maybe that's a feature request that should come from this discussion: Introduce the idea of Q+ or Q- to quantize dialogs where the quantization strength is not 100%.  Q- would move the duration or start time toward the previous beat while Q+ would move toward the following beat.  In my view, this would make quantizing a lot less random than it currently seems.  I know that doesn't address the OP problem, but it's another thought.

when you want to quantize everytime the dialog box opens, THAT is driving me nuts..
and the fact the 50% swing is actually binary, I never understood this.
In every other DAW 0% is binary and then you push how much swing you want..

Williamcopper would hate you forever for suggesting yet another use of position-based selection.

I'm not sure I understand correctly, but if I do, Dialog box settings persist and you can save presets of your most-used quantization settings.

Hi Craig, 
yes true but why not implementing the quantize setting into the PRV window so when you work on a track and you want to partially quanitze only thing you have to do is select notes and hit ´Q´. In Sonar always the dialog box comes up.. 

That would need to be a feature request, because Q is the keyboard shortcut for calling up the Quantize Dialog box. SONAR would need to implement a separate shortcut for "Quantize without requiring confirmation." For now, if hitting Enter after hitting Q disturbs your workflow excessively, I'm pretty sure you could use a macro builder (e.g., Auto Hot Key) to have a single keystroke trigger Q + Enter.
