Anyone else always having to go to the end and shorten timeline?

This is an old thread - but it seems to be a current issue. It's not just when I import things either. I've noticed that objects that are not set to "show until end" will push the timeline out if you align them with a cue point and the time from the cue point to the current end of timeline is less than the duration set for the object. I found it helps a bit if you leave everything set to "show until end" and align to cue points, then (for objects you need to have disappear, go back, reset them to NOT show until end, and then adjust the duration appropriately. It would be very nice to have an "adjust to cue point" option for the END of an object's timeline as well as the beginning (feature request anyone? :).

That being said, I am ALSO finding that sometimes the timeline moves out and I have everything set to "show until end," I have not yet found rhyme or reason for this, but it IS annoying to constantly have to readjust the timeline. And sometimes it has been padded by a lot. My record so far was 415 seconds for a page with 15 seconds of audio. I'll keep looking for a pattern - but if anyone has any ideas...
