Is this quirk common to other apps?

it seems like it has to be cut to store the section in ram.
Its possible that by moving a section of a track it is much less of a strain
on the system to do it this way.
Its also as easy to program it this way.
Although with not a particular difficult bit of code they could ahve
developed it to be able to put multiple itesmon a clipboard... like later
version of Word do.
Or at least save the clipboard for the move process and reload it
afterwards.
still. what do we know we only use the software.

although in answer to the question. i dont know of other software that does
that.
i do however know of software that causes spontaneous expletives here......
and lots of them.

Its the little things isn' it.....
