Paste a clip always in Video 1, instead of target track

[augustido]

When you paste a clip or more after choosen a target track on the left, the clip will paste aleays on the first track (Video 1) instead of the choosen one.

Not a bug.

This is not different in the Beta.

They changed the DEFAULT paste result in Release 22.5:

The change adds a timeline keyboard shortcut to paste to the targeted track, but it is unassigned.

Or to go back to the "old" way, just delete the shortcuts in the Panel -> Timeline section of the Keyboard customization: "Paste Insert To Same Track" -> Ctrl+Shift+V and Paste [Overwrite] To Same Track -> Ctrl+V.

Thanks so much, I was thinking that it was a bug.

Yes, the first time you run into it, it is perplexing. And there are still discussions in the regular PR forum where some users do not like it.

I generally use a custom keyboard shortcuts setup, so I did not even see it for some time.
