Have you tried pulling up the Task manager to see what's running and if anything is using an undue amount of resources? Is there noticeable disk activity while this is happening? From my original post: Watching process status, there is nothing indicating any kind of load on the system itself. I bro...

I have confirmed a case where the "K" and "J" key issues occur without having linked tracks (see attached). However, I also found that when I selected "View -> Fit Vertically", the problem disappeared.

Just more data to help isolate the problem.

Two tracks, each about 20 minutes long (two sides of an audio cassette). I've not seen this every time, but I have seen it on more than one project.

Mine shows none of the other entries which yours listed. I will try the latest binaries from the link you provided.

This is exactly the behaviour when linking is on and you have a label track. By "linking" do you mean having the "snap to" enabled? I still do not have that enabled. But I am seeing that if I do not have a label track, I do not see this behavior. (I thought sure I saw it previously even without a l...

I've also found that this does not happen when cutting from the beginning of a waveform or from some portion nearer the beginning. It only seems to happen when you are somewhere beyond 4-5 minutes into the waveform.
