Tempo Envelope Disobeys Preference for Ripple

[foxAsteria]

The "add edge points when ripple editing or inserting time" preference is ignored by the Tempo Envelope (points are not added at time selection like other envelopes). Causes a lot of problems when trying to ripple edit using time selection.

For reference, an option was added in 5.15 to allow 4.x style behavior:

+ Ripple editing: add right click menu to ripple toolbar button
+ Ripple editing: add option to allow ripple-all to affect tempo map

Thanks Justin, I'm well aware of this option and using it. But duplicating items or selected area creates no edge points and it screws up the duplicate (note the gradual tempo marker):

A native Duplicate Time Selection action that mimics a Region copy would make a lot of people happy. Can't be done predictably with a controller and a custom action anymore.

[FIXED!]

A mutated version of this bug is still crawling around in v5.40:

When inserting time via "Insert empty space" action, and if there is a time signature marker (not simply a tempo change) right at the start of the time selection, the time signature will be lost.

"Options: Add edge points when ripple editing or inserting time" only remembers the tempo change at the edge, but overwrites the time signature. (I suspect the algorithm forgets that, unlike other envelopes, tempo envelope points do not only carry bpm values but also time signature information.)

Before inserting time:




After inserting:
