Does anyone else find that the Stop button on the transport (or by pressing spacebar) is now really quite laggy?

Playback starts instantly, but after pressing stop icon (or spacebar)

a) Playback stops instantly
b) The green play icon remains green, the stop icon remains grey
c) There is a delay of around 50ms. During this time it's possible to click on the start button again, but playback doesn't start until the delay reaches an end.
d) After the delay finishes, it's possible to press play again and playback starts immediately.

This means if I'm using spacebar to review a hit or short section of playback pressing spacebar works the first time with immediate playback. But after pressing spacebar to stop playback, I can't immediately press the spacebar to listen again - the delay kicks in.

No-one else is reporting this, so maybe it's specific to me - if anyone sees the same, pls chime in and will raise as bug.

Behaviour is the same for the pause button.

Using latest version of Sonar (build 84) with an XR18 interface in ASIO mode with a buffer of 128 samples (changing buffer size has no effect on this transport delay)

EDIT 1: Tested this on same project / hardware in CbB , and there is no delay when stopping playback.

EDIT 2: Tested this on same project / hardware in Sonar (31.06.0.048) , and there is a delay

Ensure that fade on stop is set to zero.

I would think the delay must be a significantly larger fraction of a second to be noticeable much less bothersome. 50ms is on the order of the fastest double-click the most agile mouse handlers can achieve.
