Default Grid Lines - Slip Mode vs. Grid Mode

Hello

First off, this is not an issue only in PT 6.4. It has been with Protools for years but its really getting to me on this particular project so I thought I would mention it. I wish there was an option to leave the blue Grid Mode lines drawn in the edit window while in Slip Mode as well (only the color would turn to gray as is normally does), because alot of times I move things around manually but I like to see the grid for reference. Depending on zoom level, the grid drawn in Slip Mode changes-- sometime it follows the 8th note, sometimes only the quarter or bar.

Anyway, the BIG issue that is really hurting me on this Blues project, is what happens to the grid when using a triplet or dotted 8th grid. Alot of these tracks use a triplet feel so I use a triplet grid. However, the 'gray' grid drawn in Slip mode still refers to a straight quarter/eigth note groove and makes it very hard to move notes around freely while trying to reference some sort of related grid. I wish the gray Slip-Mode grid would reflect the fact that I am in a triplet or dotted 8th feel.

Anyone else know what Im talking about
