I will call it an anomaly and forget about it but I hated losing time by having to do things twice.


Yup.... it is, after all, a Windows based operating system...... unless you're on a Mac in which case.... hey it's still a computer.

When things in my studio start to get weird, I have a first course of action plan and that involves save anything I'm working on (if possible) and do a complete studio shutdown. After everything is down and quiet, a fresh cold boot is the order of the day.

That normally puts the world right, on the inside of the DAW. If things in a project are acting strange even after a fresh boot, I close the program and reopen it and start a new project with a new name and attempt to copy the files and track out of the first one. Normally, that solves that issue. I can only recall needed to do the whole create new project thing one time. I don't remember the details..... but that did solve it.

Frustrating, yes...... but when it happens, the sooner you recognize the brick wall, the sooner you can get the ladder.
