In a project with several tracks, the start marker is set to measure 5. A newly inserted audio file will therefore be inserted starting at measure 5.
When I move the new track to measure 1 (it contains a 4-measure lead in), the start marker also moves to measure 1.
Is that intentional?
When I press UNDO, the track moves back to measure 5 (where it was) but the start marker is not moved back.
Maybe, this depends on The import-dialog’s “Insert at” setting.
Yes, it is. On every edit operation, start and end markers are moved automatically to encompass all regions on the timeline. Also automatic movements can only increase the range, never shrink it.
That is until you manually move one of the markers, after that they stay put.
One could argue that this is a bug, depends whom you ask
