Default Time selection Cutting media item

Hello,

I am having trouble with phrasing this or finding the correct setting online.. So help would be wonderful.

When I select a media item, within the time selection, it will cut out everything outside of the Media item, I would like to just select the entire media item without cutting it? is there a setting somewhere I am missing?

Thanks!

Default

Hello,

In your Reaper Preferences, go to Mouse Modifiers.

In Context: Media item / left drag , Change Default Action to: Move item ignoring time selection.

I think that should fix your problem.

Thanks for this! I have never had items sliced by time selection until it suddenly began a few months ago. Been too lazy to troubleshoot it and figured it would go back to this default in an update. Definitely wasn't caused by OE on a trip to MM prefs. Haven't been there in a year.
