I'm not finding that to be true, hence my question. I've got a rough vocal and I'm building instrumentation around it. When I put in tempo changes, the audio clip changes and is no longer in sync with the MIDI tracks. It doesn't adjust to the new tempo of course, but it does change.
Put a clip in a file and place your cursor somewhere on the clip. Change the tempo and you'll find the cursor is no longer where it was on the clip.
