“freeze frame at cursor” doesn't work completely

Hello,
This is the first time I've posted here, and I came to ask a question related to the video function: “freeze frame at cursor”.

I've encountered a problem with the latter. I know how to use this video function and I've already used them successfully.
But lately the freeze frame doesn't work completely.

When I create a freeze frame tape, a few minutes later, an extra frame is added to the tape that is supposed to remain frozen.

I don't know if I've made myself clear, but for those who have, the problem I've described doesn't sound like much, but when you're a maniac like me, an extra frame on an image that's supposed to remain frozen is very unattractive.
So there you have it, those of you who took my comment seriously, if you have an answer for me that would be most welcome.

Thank you for reading.

Is this happening in the latest version of Vegas Pro 22 ?

Also check and see if the Quantize to frames feature is enabled and if that affects it or not.

@Momsy I'm puzzled but it's probably my ignorance. What sort of tape are you producing?

I've been unable to repro so far in Vegas Pro 22 build 122. This includes using a video event deliberately set as unquantized at both start and end frame edges, changing the project properties to a different fps rate than the media's fps, as well as using variable frame rate media from a phone, and setting the freeze-frame at cursor at the beginning of the video event and alternatively mid-event - as well as waiting several minutes to recheck the event's end frame.

@Momsy, could you please share a screenshot showing the envelope as well as the VEG file itself (no media should be needed.) I have not seen any issues any time I've used the "Freeze Frame" option.

@Momsy I suppose that could happen if your project frame rate doesn't match the media's frame rate, and possibly also if resample is on. If you step backwards, you might see the what looks like the same frame. So for example, if at 9;12 you freeze frame, then when you step backward, you see 9;12 in the preview window, but the timeline cursor is at 9;11. It would look like 9;11 and 9;12 are the same frame. This happens if project frame rate is at 24 fps but the media frame rate is 29.97 and optical resample is on.
