Hi,

Can you give a step by step instruction as how to reproduce that?

Notice that when you select all in arranger and copy, then you have to click in the first track, even if it's a group track, as to paste without shifting things down.

You mean, as I said above? If you select from track one, you'll have to click on track one to paste at the same place, vertically. That way, you can paste somewhere else vertically, if that's what you want to do. And yes, it's always been like that.

Is this case closed?

Hi,

I do get what you say now. This is a bug! If you select clips on multiple tracks, hold CTRL/Cmd, then grab one of the clips in the selection that is not on the first track in the selection, and then drag horizontally, clips drop vertically offset when releasing the mouse.

Very good, thanks a lot!
