FastBikerBoy No problems with ctrl-C here. Dodgy keyboard maybe? Thanks FastBikerBoy for the suggestion it's worth exploring but I don't have another usb keyboard on hand to try it just yet. I just now played around with it some more and have found that Control-C works consitently on clips that are all the way to the left of the track pane. Move the clip over from that start point a half-measure and farther and it doesn't work. The behavior at least on my 64-bit(Vista) system is consistent. If no one else can confirm this maybe there's something in my DAW configuration causing it. I haven't installed the 32-bit version so I don't know if I would have a problem with it.
