PT playing the wrong video track

[home_studio]

It happened couple of times: For example: I have 4 video tracks with video clips on them, some are one on top of the other (timeline wise).
When I make track 3 online, PT plays the video of track 1 and vice versa. It's not always consistent and it comes and goes during the work.
All video clips are DNxHD, and it's not specific to a project or to the same video files, just a bug (probably).
Did it happen to you as well?

Yes. I was working with Avid a couple of months ago on this exact issue. It is a bug. I have not seen a resolution as of yet.

What causes the bug is that all of the codecs used to originally make the movies are not the same. For me I had a session with 10 short video clips. It turns out it was three that were causing the issue. Just those three in a separate session worked fine and the other 7 worked fine. Create any mixture of the two and the weirdness starts.

As you said, sometimes the correct video plays, sometimes not.
