I don’t understand this new update.
I do layer work for my choir. I often have to copy from one part and paste to another. If I DON’T select “editing a clip can move other clips” under TRACK BEHAVIOURS in the Preferences, then it won’t allow me to paste… it tells me 'there’s no room to paste". But I DO select “editing a clip can move other clips” under TRACK BEHAVIOURS in the Preferences, then when I paste it, it will move ALL other tracks forward. I have spent 50% of my editing time fixing this!!! PLEASE HELP. I don’t understand WHY that is useful at all!
thank you.
First, I’m not a seasoned music editor. I don’t understand the language all that well.
However, I could not find a solution, other than turning off he “pasting a clip can move other clips” function.
But if I do that, then I can’t paste because it says “there’s no room”.
I would appreciate an answer from someone. Wading through dozens of responses with griping similar to mine just confuses me.
The underlying issue is that Muse have introduced with the current release “ripple editing” whereby a change in one track ripples through to the other tracks.
At the moment this is turned “on” in Tracks Behaviors preferences using the setting for Editing a clip can move other clips.
Formerly this setting was just used to control the behavior in the sole track that you are currently trying to paste into, needed if there is insufficient space for the paste.
Muse are considering what to do about this.

Are you using just one track? If you are, creating multiple tracks will allow you to move things around much easier.
No. I use one track per part.
I am sooooo frustrated.
I just spent two hours recording and layering multiple tracks for 6 part voices + to go back and find out that EVERY effing part has been shifted!!!
I always have to cut and paste, because parts are doubled and repeated, and I don’t want to have to record everything fresh every time.
But I just wasted two whole hours and everything is shifted and out of place.
I’m pulling out my hair.
WHY OH WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS??? Are they listening?? Can they change it back?
I’ve been using this program for close to a decade and I’m going to have to find another one… and they offer NO way to contact their techs online.
I’m having a breakdown here. 
This is a recently introduced known and logged bug:
A fix for this bug was made in a test build yesterday as you can see if you read the full bug thread.
Peter
Is the fix somewhere?
I’ve just read the whole thread. Not only am i confused about all the lingo, but I can’t find a fix.
Did I misunderstand?
Thanks,

There is no fix until the next release of Audacity,
At the moment the repair is only in a developer’s test branch, it hasn’t even made it to the alpha test build for the next Audacity release yet.
Peter
Thank you.
