Default Automation Items: Drawing new item on top of existing AI: Wrong points collected

When inserting or left+drag drawing a new Automation Item, existing points should be collected into the new AI.

This works well when inserting/drawing over plain, non-AI envelopes. However, if the same actions are done over existing AIs, the *underlying* envelope's points are collected into the new AI, instead of the existing, active AIs' points.

(This happens even if "Bypass automation outside AIs" is enabled.)

The same happens if an AI is stretched over other AIs with the "Collect point into automation item" mouse modifier.

Drawing new AIs on top of existing AIs is commonly used to duplicate parts of an item -- and is inevitable when "Convert all project automation to AIs" has been run.

At present, AFAIK the only way to isolate a small part of an existing AI is to make a time selection and then to Ctrl+drag within the time selection (just wiggle the mouse a little up and down, so that the new AI remains in place). This works well if the same time selection can be applied to all lanes. However, if different parts of different lanes need to be isolated, a new time selection has to be made for each lane.
