moving midi notes with pencil left or right get an annyong box with an x in the middl

[Ambient Dreamer]

Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am composing a cue in slip mode and when I try moving midi notes to the left or right.. they just will not move like they are supposed to, i get this annoying box with an x in the middle.

Never seen anything like this before and wondering why it does this. I am making sure that I am indeed in slip mode not in grid, as I thought that was the problem but it still does it

I also hold alt down with the pencil tool when moving notes and it still does it

can anyone help me.

My 2 cents, but I always do my midi edits with the smart tool.
