Maybe I just don't understand your way of describing your 'fix'.

Does it amount to MIDI items getting 'Ignore' and 'xxx bpm' set automatically when recording new MIDI items in 'time' as semiquaver explains, is that it?

The thing is I think many of us still need the 'lock/unlock' in there somewhere, as once we have tempo mapped, we want the MIDI unlocked, (clocked to new tempo map) so that in subsequent tempo editing the MIDI behaves as MIDI is meant to, staying on the right beat and bar. Audio items shrink or grow.

The main hassles really as I understand are

1) the naming and position of MIDI locking is counter-intuitive

2) there is a confusing redundancy in the timebase modes when applied to MIDI (your main problem, and fair enough)

3) Locking and unlocking ('ignoring' to use the current term) multiple items is a timewaster (see workaround this thread)

Your FR would solve 2) but for some audio and MIDI related recording and arranging I think there needs to be a global lock/unlock (and reclock - like what glue MIDI items does, but without creating one item. I hope I have that right.)
