Yeah, that bears out what I’ve found, different from 7.5.0 onwards. I tested under 7.5.2 as well, it was the same.
Thing for me is that slicing all lanes at the same point doesn’t seem to work in most cases because often there’s timing variations between takes, particularly when working on lead vocal takes. And comping together an improv guitar solo for example just isn’t possible like that.
I will post this on your thread in the issues forum and maybe it will be investigated.
