Yes, I agree with Rob. Depending on your project needs, there are plenty of use
cases when you still want to have access to that selection.

This seems like an unusual request, since I can't think of any other Windows
app which clears the selection when copying to the clipboard. This is the price
one pays for anchor-based selecting, which is the ability to navigate in a file
without disturbing the selection. The cost of the anchor based approach is to
remember to clear the selection, and that doesn't seem like an unreasonable
trade-off when you consider what you get in return.
I would consider putting up a flash message saying something like, "Selection
replaced", before I would consider clearing the selection when copied. At least
you would have a chance to undo, clear the selection, and paste again if you
received this message.

+1 - I've been caught by this same issue a number of times. It took me a while
to figure out what was going on. Although it is clearly described in the
manual, it is more intuitive to just perform the cut/copy and paste without
having to clear a previous selection.

Subject: [studiorecorder] Clear selectionh after copy to clipboard
Hi Rob:
I have a suggestion. Whenever I copy a sound selection to the clipboard to
paste elsewhere I need to remember to press c to clear the selection.
Otherwise, when I move to the new location and paste from clipboard nothing
happens because the clipboard audio is pasting back over itself since the
selection is still active. I have made this mistake numerous times.
Is it possible SR could automatically clear the selection after copying to
clipboard? I can't think of a use case where I would copy to clipboard and need
the selection to stay active. If I did there is always the Shift+C to recall it.
Thanks, Gerry
