I discovered a weird bug with take lanes last night:

I couldn't move clips in one of the take lanes. the other two lanes were fine, but once i moved a clip into Lane#1, it was "stuck" there. 

Drove me crazy until I noticed that Lane#1 was in EventFilter="Clip Gain", not "Clips". Note - the colour scheme on Lane#1 was not showing the "clip gain" filter scheme, it was totally looking like normal "clips" mode.

So if you find yourself unable to move clips between lanes, perhaps you are experiencing the same issue. Double-check the lane-specific event filter settings.

That's one of the reasons I reverted the color-scheme back to the much nicer X1 theme. X2's color scheme is too cartoony for me, and not as easy on my eyes. And yes, it can confuse you with it's "state".

I use a custom theme also... the thing about this bug is that X2 was totally showing Lane# in "clip" mode, whilst treating any edit attempts as though it were in "clip gain" mode.

So it wasn't a colour scheme problem - SONAR was confused about what state the lane was really in.

Yeah, I've seen some weirdness with that as well.

I concur: a buggy mess. Why is there a take lane still visible if nothing is in it? Layers were fine, and I think Take Lanes could be an improvement (for the notes if anything), but I am doing a project right now and they might be the least intuitive thing I have seen yet.

Better lanes, the return of layers, color options and better editing... too much to ask for X2b?

That's probably a perfect summary!

I like to keep my requests "simple and stupid".  Like me.
