Gale: I'd open a new bug. 373 is full of comments on different issues (invisible clip lines, sync lock behaviour). A new bug would give us a clean start. No, I haven't tried this with sync locked tracks. Further comments in line.

A "sloppy" drag down and left in Step 8 will do it, too. I couldn't find the CTRL modifier for the Time Shift tool in the Manual on http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tools_Toolbar or http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Tracks_and_Clips I had to look in Mouse Preferences, and even then the description seems incorrect: "Move clip up/down between tracks - Ctrl-Left-Drag " when in fact the Ctrl key disables left and right dragging, allowing only up/down dragging. Also, "Shift-Left-Drag" disables up/down dragging. > > >> 1) New Project >> 2) New Stereo Track >> 3) Generate tone >> 4) Split it into 4 or more clips >> 5) Add new stereo track - Fit vertically if needed >> 6) Make a selection across the second clip line >> 7) With the Time Shift Tool, click in the selected area of the top channel of the third clip and drag down >> - the left channel of the third clip and the right channel of the second clip move to the second track >> 8) Undo >> 9) With the Time Shift Tool, click in the selected area of the top channel of the third clip and drag left then down >> - the left channel of the third clip and the right channel of the second clip move to the second track; also, the left-channel portion of the second clip moves over onto the first clip and a faint clip line appears. >> 10) Undo >> 11) With the Time Shift Tool, click in the selected area of the lower channel of the third clip and drag down >> - the second clip moves down to the lower track >> >> Other wrong behaviours may be observed depending, it seems, on whether you have "undone" back to the correct point.
