Serious issue with Copy/Paste/Paste Special- may be a Bug
Hey there
I had issues with Paste for a while, usually I would thing, "Wondering where it pasted it"- thinking it went on some wrong track which was accidentally selected. At first, I was noticing that I would press Paste, and there would be no clip. Try it over and over, and it would not happen. If I close Sonar and reopen, it would work for few clips. I assumed- "oh, well, something went wrong, but it working now- not big deal".
Last night it was acting out really badly. I was at the beginning of new project- no time to have errors- may be X2 8 measure tracks- MIDI and Audio. So I am trying to Copy/Paste this MIDI clip, and instead of going in measure #9 on the track 2, it creates new track and pastes in measure 14. Just simple Paste, not even special. After trying several times I gave up, restarted Sonar. So it pasted in the right place after restart.
But I wanted to paste 8 measures 20 times. So I went in to Paste special, set it to X20, I believe I had the top box in middle column checked in Advanced- is it alight to measure? (where it would show 17:00:12 or any location if it unchecked but gets grayed out when checked). So it did Paste X20 clips.
So I am on the next track, and I want to do the same- copy and Paste X20, but this time it pastes in to Measure #9 correctly but after that- every clip starts one measure farther- has 1 measure hole. So if the next supposed to go in #17, it went to 18. Note that I am using Paste now, not Paste Special but it still pastes X20 times, when it supposed to Paste just one clip. So I am going to Paste Special settings and set it to Paste X1, but it continues to paste X20 clips. So I close Sonar and reopen. It Pastes X1. I am thinking, "Ok, it working now". Select X20, and it starts pasting with hole again (one empty measure between the pasted clips). Any suggestions? Thank you.
