Thank you for huge update!!
Found a razor editing bug.
Cut instead of copy. When you have already pressed LMB to drag over razor edit you add control button.And cursor changing to copy but when drag it just cut item.
This works differently than with a simple selected item.

Which OS? I can't reproduce that here in the Linux version of 6.36.

(and don't you mean Alt + RMB drag (at least that's the default for making a razor selection)?

I am using windows.
Steps to reproduce.
1)Make razor edit over item.
2) Click LMB over razor edit.
3) Add control button (cursor changes to copy)
4)Drag item with control button.
5) See item is cut.

Ah, I see now what you mean.

The crucial thing is that the after making the razor edit selection, the LMB must be pressed before hitting Ctrl. And yes, in that case it cuts rather than copies, even though the cursor changes to indicate the copy function (with the + sign).

If the LMB is pressed and held after pressing Ctl though, it works as expected.

This bug is not unique to 6.36. I just checked and in fact it's been there ever since the razor edit feature was introduced in a full release (6.24 - March 2, 2021). Tested in Linux and Windows 10.

Thank you! Yes, this bug probably did not appear now, but it was surrounded by me in this version. I hope it will be noticed and fixed.

Confirmed on Mac system. And yes it is definitely a bug. Rarely use razor editing due to minor flaws like this

Fellows, latest pre-release has a change where razor edit behavior is the same as with regular item moves. So you can press the modifier after mouse button down, but before the actual drag move to change the action from move to copy.

Usually when I download a 64 bit update (for OSX in my case), I get Reaper64 as application name. With this release, there was no 64 suffix... So when I re-opened I got the older version instead of the new release. Is this intended? I got the idea that the 64 bit version for OSX is actually the 32 bit version...

changed in May 6.29

+ macOS: rename ARM build to REAPER-ARM.app, Intel 64-bit to REAPER.app, update volume labels of disk images.

32-bit isn't compatible with current macOS.

Thanks for the information!

I keep checking back to see if 'playlists' are added so I can move back from Pro tools.
Doesn't seem to be on the agenda!?
I find it surprising as Reaper implements so many of the users requested features, yet this one is nowhere to be seen, even though most DAWs have a decent solution to this.
