Thanks, Jim. That is what I am trying to establish. Is this a bug or have I misunderstood how to set up my timeline? It seems to me that it would be useful if the process were transparent.
My title sequence with titles and an adjustment layer gobbles up 4 video tracks. My edit requires only two. I would like to be able to reduce the number of tracks to that required by my edit.
Here is a screengrab from my title sequence

The same thing happens IF I make it a Compound clip. Basically, the solution is to decompose to maintain the desired behaviour.
