Problem with "skipping" highlighted passage when previewing an edit

Running Beta version 13.0.9.17, just downloaded, I have come across a problem that was not present in the previous Beta, nor in the release version.

I am editing a spoken voice track and need to remove one word.  I have highlighted the waveform of the word and selected to playback the file and skip the highlighted word.  The "skipped" section lasts longer than the highlighting and the audio drops back in about halfway through the word after the highlighting.  

I hope that makes sense!  I have attached a screenshot.  The highlighted (white) area is the single word, the skip playback button is clearly illuminated, but the "red box" indicates approximately how much of the file is "skipped".  To be clear, the CTI skips only the chosen area but the audio is only heard again at more or less the point indicated by the right hand edge of the red box.

EDIT: this bug is only a problem when attempting to preview the edit.  Deleting the highlighted word, playback is entirely as expected i.e. only the highlighted word is "removed".
