Slip mode - viewing what's "underneath" a pasted region

[nhwinni]

I hope it's me being stupid, but this has plagued me forever.

Audio track, slip mode.
Paste a small region on top of the audio track.
Use grabber and slide the pasted region back/forth.
The audio from the original track is GONE underneath the place where I pasted the region.

I also would like to trim the pasted region after the paste, and reveal the audio that was underneath it from the original track.

So if I'm trying to manipulate a pasted region, I want the original track audio to stay there so I can find a good sync point.

Cubase does this and it's amazingly intuitive.

Is this just a preference setting that I'm missing? please oh please oh please...?

Thx

Do the trim by extending the end of the existing region, not the beginning of the pasted one.
