Mahalo, (thank you!) arturgodlewski! This occurrence was SO annoying and time consuming, but your answer is perfect! With regard to the possibility of this being a "bug", I agree wholeheartedly, because there is no advisement of this in the Studio One 5 Reference Manual to warn users of this, what purpose the additional "leader" and "tail" serve, or when this could be useful. If digital editing were less precise than it is, and one was dealing with analog tape, a razor blade and a slicing block, then it might make (some) sense. In this environment, it is only annoying if the answer you've fortunately discovered and graciously shared, isn't included in the SOxRM. Awesome!
