Automation rat's nest w/ Object Grabber

I've had this same problem; automation doubling back on itself, crossing over itself, breakpoints that can't be erased. I like to keep my automation clean, but this bug takes up a lot of my time trying to sort through the mess.

I believe I have observed a bug involving the object grabber. I was wondering if anyone else has seen something similar.

In video post I often sound design :30 spots and then have to create :15 cut downs. I use the object grabber to copy/paste groups of regions. The source regions have volume/pan automation that consists of anchor points at the beginning and end of the region, i.e. a simple level adjust.

On rare occasion some of the automation will playback strangely. When I look at the automation in the edit window, there are instances where the automation line will double back on itself. Weird! One time I poked at it a little (in session – gotta keep moving) and if I started playback before the jumble, PT would play one iteration while if I started on the jumble, it’d play the other iteration.
