My loop markers are moving.

When I create a clip (like a breakbeat sample or guitar line), it will play all the way through and stop at the end, like it should.

When I click on "Loop", to loop the clip, it only loops half. The end markers jump from literally the end of the clip (where they were originally) to a midway point, either halfway or a quarter of the way through the clip.

I know you can just move the loop markers back, but is there some reason that Live does this? It would be great to be able to toggle the Loop function on and off without having to worry about the loop markers moving around.

Is there any way to set the length of your loops as you record them? All the clips I record have a default length of 2 bars. Even when I record 8 bars (in clip view), the loop markers default to 2 bars. This is of course before I tell it to loop, so initially the clip will play out for all 8 bars.
