Summary0010172: Region ends *sometimes* (for some regions) refuse to respect enabled snap targets
DescriptionRegion ends *sometimes* refuse to respect snap and snap targets that are enabled.
Here’s a video demo (1.5min) of the problem: https://odysee.com/@icterine:a/Ardour-9---Region-Ends-Sometimes-Not-Snapping:4

Also, you can download that exact demo project here: https://www.mediafire.com/file_premium/t9rg66iljsaaalb/V_-_V_%2528The_Sentencing_II%2529_-_Snap_Problem%2528s%2529_Example.zip/file

I thought a demo project would be useful because maybe it’s some particular region-specific data field in the XML that’s causing this?

Also, I'm fine if this is 100% on me, -something I did, or am not doing. : )

Anyway, thanks for looking!

Region ends are not supposed to snap to anything actually, they can be selected a snap *targets*, but when moving a region it is the region's beginning (or sync point) that's used as reference.

In your video the hihat region is longer,which explains why it behaves differently than the other regions.

To be more specific: the above applies when moving a region.

@jean-emmanuel
Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, on a second look, you are correct.
There is definitely a big behavioral difference between *moving* a region, and *grabbing and shortening/lengthening a region's start/end*.

It's all a bit confusing sometimes, but thanks for pointing this out! : ))

Cheers,
