Hovering Mouse Over Current Automation Disables Snapping On Movement S

Hovering the mouse over the current automation envelope in the Automation Pane seems to disable snapping when using the commands “Move to Previous/Next Line” ( and ).

So the cursor goes from moving by lines (when the mouse is somewhere else), to moving at the highest resolution (“ticks”, I think?). i.e. sloooowly.

To reproduce:

  1. In a new song, focus the automation pane.
  2. Make sure Snapping is enabled.
  3. Make sure the mouse is NOT hovering over the actual current automation grid.
  4. Move the cursor left and right with the keyboard. It should move by the snap setting (grid, lines, or beats).
  5. Now hover the mouse over the current automation grid.
  6. Move the cursor left and right with the keyboard.
  7. The cursor should now move VERY SLOWLY, the mouse’s location seeming to have disabled snapping.

Is this a bug or a feature?
