I have gotten into the habit of using loop markers to "constrain" the project when similar happens. It is the easiest work around I could think of since rewind will then stop at the start boundary. I also leave 2 bars of dead space at the beginning of projects (habit since 1998) to avoid the "start at time zero" issues over the years, so most projects have loop markers enabled in them (even though not always on).

I must remember that one.
Which makes me remember that I've often  wished to have the ability to add  another marker row (or more).
IMO it would be quite handy. One row would relate to, say, song structure and the other
to arrangement decisions/plans or whatever.

Hear Hear. I'v had clips move to unexpected places too. Extremely frustrating. More than once i've had our drummer replay the whole song because I couldn't rearrange two perfect partial-takes. Multitracks with grouped clips just going wonkers all the time and doing things manually just f@(#s up my markers....

Would this classify as a bug? I can't really fathom a situation where it would be intended behavior.

I agree to this thread, but it won't make me choose another DAW because there are so many beautiful features in SONAR... But as often about software, the most basic features are those which doesn't work well or which are not fixed. Microsoft and Google are very good for this...
Personally I never like when I realize that I will have to insert or delete measures. I know that I will lose 15 or 30 minutes to try it several times and then to listen to my whole project to be sure that all is OK. That's a pity.

I agree. My Sonar projects take far too much time.

Totally agree Sharke. 
 
Is this a bug or a feature request?
 
Ripple Delete would be nice!

I can't believe the Bakers have gone this long thinking that this shouldn't be addressed ASAP.

fwiw, it'll be to do with the effort required to fix it, but if you can think of a way marketing could spin such a fix as a new or improved feature then you may get it sooner rather than later

I agree with the frustration level on removing a section of a project and having to deal with non adjusted time lines and tempos.  Plus 1 to make this easier in a future release.
 
Now, I am not at my DAW but I do vaguely remember taking care of this by doing a massive CUT and PASTE, that is, moving the sections that needed to fill the deleted time instead of deleting the section.  I think it moved the project correctly the last time I tried this but it has been awhile since I needed to do this and I probably am mistaken.

Yes Jim, I often solve it like you do... But I'm sure a high-end piece of software like SONAR could help us doing this kind of things more easily. It's a basic feature and that should be perfect.
