Default Algorithm difference between tab to transient and option + tab to transient?

This isnt really a problem or anything, rather a quirky little thing that Ive noticed about tab to transient that Im hoping someone could maybe shed some light on.

So I was quantizing guitars this morning using tab to transient, and I accidentally hit the tab key twice, skipping over one of the strums. After realizing I had skipped a hit, I did an Option + Tab to go back to the transient only to notice that the edit cursor was now at a different part of the skipped transients attack then it was before I skipped over it.

Now what I can gather from this is that using option+tab to transients as oppose to hitting the normal tab to transients will place your cursor at a different part of the notes attack. Does this happen to anyone else? Why might Pro Tools be detecting the transients so differently?

Yes, that happens to me all the time. The algorithm is much more accurate when tabbing left-to-right than vice-versa. I don't trust opt-Tab to find transients for me. If I accidentally skip one, I'll opt-Tab twice, then Tab, so it finds it going the right direction.
