Problem exists in 1.3.5d Mac. In 1.3.3 Mac, pasting into a track with a different sample rate creates a clip. It appears that from 1.3.5d onwards the clip is not created.

Thanks, Bill. I've established it broke in 1.3.4. In 1.3.3, seems that any paste creates a clip e.g. between tracks at same rate. I never liked that.

Ah ha! That's the bit I was missing.
I can reproduce the bug on Linux and XP.

I often paste audio clips of different sample rates, but I always deal with them as discrete clips.
The bug only appears if audio is pasted into existing audio that has a different sample rate.

At least this points to an easy workaround for tablo:
Before pasting the copied audio, click at the place where you want to paste it, then press "Ctrl+I"
This will "split" the audio in the track that you are pasting into.
You can then use Ctrl+V (or select "Paste" from the Edit menu) to paste the audio.
The audio will now be pasted as a discrete audio clip and will play at the correct speed.

This problem will be fixed in the next 1.3.13 Beta. Thanks for the report.
