I'm having an issue with a particular file when using auto -punch. Everything records and punches in and out just fine , but when I hit space bar to stop it locates to the end of the track upon stop. I can't imagine this is a behavior that is switchable - but I miss a lot little tricks coming from Sonar5 to Pro. any ideas ? or can someone confirm it works normally? The space bar is switched to stop mode and seems to operate normally in any other mode except auto-punch.

Please look at the last three options under the Track View "Options" menu.

Worked as expected for me. The now cursor went back to where I started the record (before the punch-in section). (I didn't try with any looping.)

Thanks all for info - appears it corrected itself. I going to assume my file was corrupted and righted itself after several bounce to clips. Craig -  thanks for the input on the options switches -  I hadn't explored those in several years.
