BlueTurbit, I really don't think this is the intended behavior. I would say the expected behavior should be exactly as if you selected and then right-clicked on a RT and selected generate MIDI data (you get a warning saying the operation is not allowed). Since RB prevents you from changing a RT (with data) into a MIDI track in all other cases, I would definitely see this as a bug. Especially since you cannot undo the change.

The UI designer/implementer has to assume that the user might be able to do things that they did not anticipate. If the user is able to get the program into an unintended state using a slightly different set of steps, then it should be considered a bug. I was bitten by this bug because I assumed RB followed the standard right-click convention and this coupled with the inability to undo made me lose the RT. As I said it is not a really big deal since it is possible to recreate the RT track on an unused track but you will lose edits and settings you made for the RT. Also the work-around is simple so I'll be careful not to make the same mistake again.

Oh and BlueTurbit, thanks for the tip about right-clicking on the data part of the track. I think it would be easier to change my habit to right-click on the data part of the track than it would be to change my habit to first left-click the track to select it (since this is the usual convention and I am just too conditioned to doing it that way).
