While we're squashing ARA issues, this is a biggie:
1. Pitched clip up an octave (not shown)
2. Used Ctrl-Drag to demonstrate duplication works fine in this way (edits remain intact)
3. Used Smart Copy ("Edit: Copy items/tracks/envelope points (depending on focus) within time selection, if any (smart copy)") and as you can see the edits are thrown out.
Please devs, if we're not going to have Area Selection/Duplication (!!), Smart-Copy is the closest tool we have and it's really a problem for it to break ARA edits.
