X2 - Weird edit behavior!

Hello,

Without having changed any settings (apparently), something has changed in the way I move clips.
Now, when I move a clip and it touches another clip, this last clip gets automatically selected and movers along with the first one.
This is annoying and is new to me.  MOst of the times I want the clips to overlap and don't want this auto selection "on touch".
What do I do to get this back to normal?

Regards,
joni

    Hmm... go to Edit > Preferences > Customization - Editing and see if Blend Old with New is selected.

    You might be experiencing the selection bug though. It's a bit of a pain.

    Yep, this looks like a bug.
    Today I am working on another projects and the weird behavior is gone!
    This is a dad one.

    I tried messing around with this last night.

    The only time that clips further down the timeline moved (for me) was when "Slide over to make room" was checked in Edit > Preferences > Customization - Editing.

    When it starts happening one way to avoid it is to simply lock the unwanted clip. That way it won't get selected or moved without unlocking it again.

    To do this select the clip you want to stay in place > Right Click > Lock > Pos/Data. You'll have to do it twice using right click. You can also lock clips by opening the Inspector (press I) > select the Clips tab at the top > click on Lock and select Pos/Data.

    I've been doing this quite frequently to avoid the issue. In fact I lock ALL clips except the ones I'm currently editing because it can select across tracks and if this happens off screen it can really eat up a lot of time trying to fix the unwanted edits.

    I thought that it was perhaps a constant bug but have recently noticed that it only happens after working with a project for a while so something is getting corrupted. It is the worst bug I've encountered in Sonar X2.

    Cheers.
