Speed Editor Ripple Delete issues (Edit page)

Most of the time, I am really happy with the Speed Editor - both on the Cut and Edit Page.
On the Edit Page, i use SPLIT, SPLIT, Ripple Delete quite a bit to remove dead air, and other small unwanted clips in interviews and MOST of the time, there are no issues.

But SOMETIMES, wehen I've made 2 cuts and wheel over the part I want to Ripple Delete, only one track is rippled and the remaining tracks are moved left, overriding previous parts of their respective clips.

In the example, I have one 1 video track with one audio track and 3 images on top of that (I don't mind having the images cut up),
I have used SPLIT on the SE to make the 2 cuts.

Image 1 - I have made a cut, shown just after the playhead.

Image 2 - After I hit Ripple Delete, the top most clip is deleted and the 3 layers below are rippled left, but not deleted.

In this example, I am showing a ripple at the start of a split clip, but the same thing happens when I do SPLIT, SPLIT and Ripple Delete in the middle of a clip. The 3 lower tracks are moved to the left, overriding whatever was on those tracks.

Using DR Studio 18.6.6 build 7 + Speed Editor.

Being aware that it's a beta version and that you should make a full backup first, 19 might be worth a try.
The support for the SE in the Edit page has been improved considerably.

Hi Uli -
Is there a list of changes in v19 when using the Speed Editor with the Edit page? My impression (and I hope I'm wrong!) was that Speed Editor functionality with the Edit age was only minimally changed with v19 - big improvements were supposed to be with bluetooth reliability.

Looking forward to v19, but for now, I have 2 projects that I need to get done (by the time they are done, stable is probably also out :) )
