I don’t mean to be a party pooper haha - I realize there is currently no active development, perhaps never will be. I can understand that. But as the issue still bugs me personally every single day (I have to use two versions of Renoise - 2.8 and 3.1) I can’t help but bump this thread on the topic:
Just to bring it up a bit, in case some development does happen. But I’m sorry to stir the pot on this again. 
I’m not saying the developers have to stop everything they’re doing to start fixing an issue for me… Just a wet dream that’s all.
Slice marker workaround is great (and even -better- for so many things!) but doesn’t address the low-treshold-workflow-is-everything -issue which I personally have. The functionality is -perfect- in 2.8 but I’d rather use the new version for most other things, so. Yep. Frustrating. It’s all explained in the other thread.
