[Namaste]

When I use punch recording, which is often, I have zero problems. Instead of setting it via the transport, I use it with command+clicks in the region to be punched into; this technique is also called out in the manual. You might want to try that.

Your punch points should show as little green flags in the ruler bar or whatever its called, near the top of your screen.

I've not had any difficulty punching in and out using this technique. Have you tried lengthening the amount of punch time?
