How to remove A B cross over thing

Vegas has just done this to me; it's all one track, but double-decker. I don't know, but how do I get rid of it so it's single-decker?

Thanks

@Bria On the track header there is an option you can turn off.

There's also an option in Preferences. Double clicking the end of an event makes this happen, personally I have this on as i find it a useful tool but I can see how it can be annoying.

The option Gid mentions was added to Preferences several versions ago. Before that you needed to know the following:

From https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-faqs-and-troubleshooting-guides--104787/

item 28. Why is my video track split between "A" & "B" tracks?
If a red square bracket appears at the end of one of your video events then you are in Expanded Edit Mode. To exit expanded edit mode, do one of the following:

Choose "Edit" > "Select" > "Exit Expanded Edit Mode"

Press 5 on the numeric keypad

Double-click the event edge

Press Esc on your keyboard

If no red square bracket appears then your track layers are simply expanded. To "unexpand" them, right click on the track header (the area to the left of the track) > uncheck "Expand Track Layers".

Many thanks to both.

Not selected in options, so must have done it some other way when editing, I'm doing a lot of track motion, so prob caught it by accident.

Lots of tracks, so I want all the horizontal space I can get.

Cheers
