Default Re: midi copy/duplicate: 7.4 can't grab 1st quantized note

When I have a full-quantized bar or bars of midi notes, I copy those bars, paste them, and ProTools 5.x, 6.x, and now 7.4 leaves out the first note or notes of the first midi measure I copied.

E.g., I have a 4-bar drum pattern - fully-quantized - I made sure the very first note on the bass drum was not hanging in front of my first quantized measure. I copied. I pasted. 7.4 left off the first note.

Now I have to option+click just that bass drum note I want and drag it to the measure that 7.4 should have copied. This is time-consuming.

And to continue the problem: now I highlight the 4 bars I've just copied with the added bass drum note: I select apple+D to duplicate the 4 bars and AGAIN, the first note of the selection DOES NOT COPY.

I posted this problem years ago. Still not solved. Aggravating.

This has been happening not just in LE but with 192 setups with TDM.
Yes, I've seen this many times working on a friends 7.4 LE system, but never on mine. Drives me nuts. Every time this happens I zoom all the way in to make sure that it's on the beat. If I remember to, even though I've already quantized the MIDI, use the trimmer in grid mode to "trim" the start of the note(s), the select > copy > paste routine will work.
