Summary0003333: Subtle difference between ctrl-v and 'paste' from the edit menu.
DescriptionSubtle difference between ctrl-v and 'paste' from the edit menu.

If you select and copy (ctrl-c) a region and then use paste from the edit menu, nothing will get pasted unless there is a track header selected, then the paste happens on that track.

If, however, you use ctrl-v, if no track header is selected, the track header for the region that was copied becomes selected and the paste happens on that track.

The paste methods need making consistent with each other.

This is because on paste, the track that the mouse pointer is over is selected before the paste happens (in either of the cases you mention). It's just that when you select Edit from the menu, the mouse isn't over a track.

The paste menu option can't have any idea where a paste should happen if there are no selected tracks, so I think the only real option to ensure consistency is to remove the paste-to-track-the-mouse-is-over behaviour.

Any thoughts?

Chris and I discussed this on IRC and concluded that the best way is probably to remove the paste-to-track-under-mouse behaviour and have paste work on the selected track (if one exists) or on the track that the copy was made from if it doesn't.

Fixed in SVN, I believe.
