Deleting Clip On V2, Also Deletes Everything Below

Another thing that's probably simple but I'm not getting:

I've changed keyboard shortcuts so a simple press of the "Delete" key (I'm on a Mac and pressing the keyboard key above the return button, which is the backwards arrow button) does a ripple delete rather than deleting the clip and leaving a gap.

THE PROBLEM: When I delete a clip on V2 (video clip, text, etc), everything below it on the lower video tracks and audio tracks delete too. If I try the key that says "Del" nothing happens. If I do Command+Delete (backwards arrow) the same thing happens. I've checked to make sure the clip isn't linked to what it's deleting.

Worse still, in my Multicam clip, if I select audio to delete, it always highlights video not directly above the audio but to the left of it. No matter how long or short that edit in the multicam clip is, and yet the audio and video are both in sync when I play it.

I'm not even sure what to look up in the manual.

Welcome to resolve and the quirky weird things it does. I'm sorry I can't offer you any help but I've seen resolve do weird things like that one day and then the next just stop. It's not an intuitive software and often times when you figure out a plan on what you want to do it just won't let you. That sounds like something is wrong with the software and I would try to start a new project if you're not too far in. And if that doesn't work reinstall it.

Hm.. ok and since it's version 20, there's no 20.1 update or something.

When I get a chance, I'm going to use the default keyboard and see if that does anything, because right now I can only assume it's buggy like you said or maybe I broke a keyboard shortcut to make it do something weird? Maybe a restart of the app... or my Mac.

Thank you for such a quick reply!

Got it.

Even with the default Resolve keyboard, and even with the lower video track locked, it would still happen (the locked video track wouldn't get deleted but any other video tracks or audio tracks WERE deleted).

But all tracks had "Auto Track Selector" on. Once I turned that off, deleting has worked as expected, no matter the file type, no matter the custom keyboard settings.
