Markers and Ripple edits

Little confused, I have a marker on the timeline to mark the start of the ripple edit, it was at 00:01:11:02. I drag the " Loop Region " to where I want to cut 00:02:24:04, hit ctrl+a to select all, hit ctrl+s to split, hit ctrl+X to cut out the chunk I'm wanting to get rid of, the video and audio moves where it should but the marker is going to 0:00:00:00 ... ? As it is at the start of the cut I would think it should ( and used to ) stay put. And I have ripple edit is set to " All Tracks, Markers, And Regions."

What am I missing here ?

I know what you mean, but I think you're going to need an engineer from Sony to answer this one. It has to do with the ripple "rules" of things existing on the boundary of a ripple edit and what gets rippled after it...

Yeah, this is definitely a boundary condition. I just confirmed your results.

Interesting thing I never noticed before. When you select a track header, the little dot in the upper left corner of the track number button begins to blink. If you press delete at this point, the entire track disappears. What's more, you cannot stop the blinking and "disarm" the selection of the track simply by clicking on the track again. You either have to click on event on that track's event line, or click on another track or on the gray area below the track. What's more, if you undo the track cut, ALL the tracks are now highlighted (i.e., the undo is not really taking you back to the same state), and the first track now has the blinking track number. Pretty subtle behavior that has very significant consequences.
