Something I constantly 'stumble over' for a long time but never got around to posting, but since it came up recently
here...
Using Ctrl+Mousewheel (as mentioned in the linked post) or the vertical scrollbar "+" sign to set track height prior to inserting a new track DOES set new height for inserting tracks, so I think this is at least inconsistent behaviour or ?
edit:
Ok, can be argued that Ctrl+MW and "+" are different since they set height for
all tracks.
