I have encountered a strange problem with the time grid (vertical bars) in the sound editor. When I zoom it so that the grid displays details of each second, the last 1/4 of each second is missing! The grid times will be (for example) 1:09.72, 1:09.73, 1:09.74, 1:10.00 ....
Where did the last quarter second go? This is a real problem when I am trying to select short portions of the clip - the time span selected will be 2.74 or 3.00 - nothing in between. So how long did I select? 2.74? 3.00? something else? I am quite sure this is happening at all zoom levels, it's just not noticible.
A reply to a help ticket I sent to the technical group indicated the bug was with the software engineering group, but of course they didn't say how long it had been there...
Has anyone ever seen this behaviour before, and is there a fix? I am copying my LP's to CD's, and since 1 revolution of a LP is 1.8 seconds, you can see the problems I have trying to select 1.8 seconds to delete.
A suggestions will be much appreciated.
P.S. - is there a way to attach a .jpg screen shot to these postings? I am new here and cannot see a way to do it.
Thanks

This has been noted in every version and is not really a bug .
Read the discussion in this thread. To almost everyone its a strange way of marking time

I sure wouldn't, since it has been broken the past 5 versions of the software.
Life is good!

Not broken it is designed that way to meet Audio CD standards of 75 frames...
Read Walt's link.
