That's what I thought too... I did what you said and I had no meter changes - only one. It's really strange, when If I toggle the "Smart Grid" option on and off, the clips become aligned and unaligned.
Check out these screen shots... All I did was hold down the blue 1 sample under the snap to button and checked "smart grid".
Look at the two clips in the center - they are aligned perfectly - right?
Not anymore!!! The arrow points to the extra line.
Any idea what this is all about? I have to zoom way in to see it.
