Is this a bug (slip edit after fade)?

[tecknot]

Hello All,

Is this a bug?

At the beginning (or end) of a clip, create a fade-in (or out, respectively) with the Edit Tool;

Right-click in the edited clip to bring up the pop-up menu;

Finally, Left-click to the right, outside of the pop-up menu so that it disappears.

Result:  Clip is now slip edited at the point of the Left-click.

Expected result:  Clip remains the same prior to the Right-click.

Or is this an intended result?  This does not happen if you just Left-click after creating the fade.  Seems to me to be an undesired result.

Kind regards,

tecknot

P.S. Does not matter if it is a mono or stereo clip

Can only repro that here if the Edit tool is active, in which case it's not too surprising.  Does not happen with the Smart tool.

Correct, it only happens with the Edit Tool active, but not with the Smart Tool.

Kind regards,

Incidentally, I found that I didn't have to first create a fade to reproduce this. I guess it is unexpected that a single click slip-edits the track when clicking with the context menu open whereas it would normally require a click and drag. Workaround (and probably a best practice) is to exit the context menu using the Esc key instead of by clicking.

We've now logged this as a bug.

It's actually been around for a while - I could reproduce in SONAR Platinum.

Hi David,

I did go back and tried to reproduce this in various ways, but yeah, you don't need to create a fade.  However, if you were to bring up the context menu you might notice that you would have to be in the proper zone of the clip for the Slip-Edit tool to appear, otherwise if you left-click with the cursor/pointer showing then only the context menu disappears without the slip edit.

Kind regards,

P.S.  Using ESC is how I usually dismissed the context menu, but for whatever reason I used the mouse and discovered the anomaly.
