System version: 1.5.1.0

Maschine version: 2.17.5(R0)

Firmware: 0.1.9

Case 1:

1. Reboot Maschine+

2. Create clip in Group 1 (which is already selected after boot): Press SHIFT+PATTERN and then Press Pad 1

3. Set clip length to 10 bars by turning Knob 4

4. Press IDEAS button and verify we have a project with one clip with POSITION 1:1:1, START 1:1:1, END 10:0:0.

BUG 1: Clip cursor size (4 bars) differs from clip length (10 bars). Reported to support long time ago, dont remember exact bug id

5. Without changing anything else select Group 2

6. Press PATTERN button

7. Switch to Pattern page by pressing Button 1

8. Create pattern with default length (1 bar) by pressing Pad 1

9. Set pattern length to 2 bars by turning Knob 4

10. Press IDEAS button

So after these steps:

BUG 2: Clip in Group 1 has been shifted to the right by the length of pattern in Group 2

BUG 3: There are now 2 Scenes in the project - Scene 1 is empty, Scene 2 contains Pattern 1 from Group 2

Not being impressed enough by this mess lets continue with

Case 2:

The following actions should be performed right after actions from Case 1. So if something additionally has been changed please repeat steps from Case 1 before proceeding further

  1. While being in Song mode switch to Group 1
  2. Switch to Clip mode by pressing Button 2
  3. Set Clip 1 position to 1:1:1 by turning Knob 1 (partially fixing resulting mess of Case 1)
  4. Select Group 2
  5. Switch to Section mode by pressing Button 1, as a result having at the bottom of the left screen: Clip 1 POSITION: #1, SCENE: Scene 2, LENGTH: Auto
  6. Increase length of current section (#1) by turning Knob 4

BUG 4: Clip 1 has been split into 2 clips at the end of the section

I cant see any sane logic behind such behaviour, in my opinion this functionality is totally broken in current M+ version.
