OK, this is really weird. My audio turned purple.

I totally don't get this. I thought it was a memory leak or something in PR so I exited and re-entered PR with no luck. My other clips in the same project look normal, but this one turned blue. I don't have any effects on it, just a normal clip in a timeline like my other 2 thousand audio clips.

This continues to happen to me several times a day. Just now, I had a very clear observation of what I was doing that made the clips change color.

I was simply dragging from finder (on my mac) a video file and then dropping it in my project explorer. For some reason (maybe because I've been sick, and very tired), I was dragging the file very slowly and predicably. As the file went over my timeline, the audio changed to purple. I just had my track pad clicked in the down position so I could drag.

Literally, nothing else was going on, and I watched the green turn to purple.

Does that hint give anyone ideas as to what it could be? (I've tried to repeat with no success)

Its know that dragging over panels before dropping the file this can cause issues.

I once put in hours insisting a very repeatable bug having to do with framehold and timeline layering issues. That was like 2 years ago, and after many many releases, the problem has never been addressed. I was told it was added (with the repro) into a PR bug tracking db. Does the team really care about bugs? they seem hell bent on releasing new features and not fixing really really annoying bugs. </rant>
