Internal Routing Bug?

[oliarnalds]

...or something like that. Don't really know what to call this..

Often when i open a session, tracks will be wrongly routed. For example a stereo track may only be playing the right channel, or be louder in one channel than the other (for some reason it's always louder in the right channel when that happens), despite being panned equally to the middle... Or one track's audio may be playing out from it's own track as well as some other audio track's (along with that track's audio)...

I get many different versions of this.. seemingly randomly, but very frequently. This can also happen midway through working within a session... Suddenly one track starts playing from several different channels. Worst is when i don't notice it and mix everything according to this.

This has been going on for a while. Closing the session and opening it again fixes this. Deleting preferences has helped nothing.

It feels like if this was an analog mixer, all the wires would be messed up inside... hence the title of this thread.. but i have no idea what may be the problem here. Anyone else had an experience with this?
