You appear to be using the "Ripple Edit" tool. Use the regular selection tool (plain arrow). Select the caption stream first, then either drag the whole caption or position the tool over the end or beginning and drag left or right.

Yes, i am tryig to adjust the captions on the timeline and it is the ripple tool. I used to be able to hover over the captions on the timeline and drag them in or out, now i have this red slash over it.

Just tried the plain arrow and it worked. I confused it with the "track sleect forward tool"! Thank you!
