Right; my e-mails are both about region gain envelope points, not the 
track/bus gain automation (I thought I clarified that I was talking about the 
gain automation points you draw with the crosshairs right on the region....I'm 
sorry if I didn't make that more plain).  

All of the issues I mentioned in the first post have been with the region gain 
envelope points, to use hopefully the correct, unambiguous, terminology.  This 
may or may not be what Jörn was referring to, but I am talking about the 
region envelope points in both of my e-mails; sorry for the confusion.

The FLOSS manual, at least, refers to the envelope points as 'Gain Automation 
Points' and distinguishes them from the points on the automation tracks.  The 
reference manual in Daisy at stackingdwarves also refers to the 'region gain 
tool' and uses the term 'gain automation' when referring to the envelope drawn 
with that tool.

And I have had sessions with no automation tracks, but which had region gain 
envelope points that extended beyond the end of the associated region 
mysteriously extend the session, and the end session location point.
