Alt drag the clip to the right (magnet is on) and it will never stick to its tails

This is an old one:

(In case this haunts only me and nobody encountered and needed that previously so it didn't make to a request post here)

This behaviour bugs me everytime:

When you Alt+drag the clip to make a copy to the right - next to its tails [with the magnet button for sticking to clips is enabled of course] it won't stick. It would stick however if you alt + drag it to the left to stick to its heads.

And what I'd do as a workaround for many years is alt dragging the first one a track up then reselecting the bottom one and alt dragging it to the right so it'd sticked to the tails of the one above the original.

The summery: it drags and sticks around anything but the tails of the the clip it has been dragged from

Could you please fix that?

I just played with it for 20 minutes and I think that is a bug. I thought I had it relating to the work area bar, but it was just sticking to the end of the work area. When I increaed that, it happens, some with an edit point at the end of the clip, it will stick to that.

 

When you're in a drag mode, it's nice if that would work. There are some easy keyboard work arounds for that. I'll say a bug though.
