What do you mean?

I understand what you mean. But I talking not about automation -- about waveform! Without questions, automation is property of whole track or bus, it must no changes if regions changed. I think that automation waveform must reflect "true" waveform of track as summation of all regions. Or why need it in general on automation ribbon???

Completely right. But repeat once more -- wrong(shifted) waveform on automation ribbon is my trouble, not automation. Automation point positioning relative to the shifted waveform -- unhandy task.

What about next two troubles?
