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

OK, I just hit an odd one. The element was a text box. It was set to start at time stamp 46s, show until end of slide, and used "float in" to animate in (1 sec). The slide/page timeline ended at the end of the audio (49.5 seconds and some change).

I right clicked on the text box item (on the timeline) and aligned it to Cue Point 8 (which was at time stamp 37.75). When I did so, the text box was aligned to the Cue Point, but Storyline 2 ALSO added 8.5 seconds to the end of the timeline, pushing it out to 58 seconds. A little quick math showed a pattern: In order to come back to Cue Point 8, the object needed to have 8.5 seconds added to its duration. That's EXACTLY the amount of time that was added to the overall timeline.

Furthermore, the phenomenon is repeatable. When I adjusted a second item to a cue point, this time moving it back 7 seconds, Storyline padded the over timeline by exactly that much.

Sounds like a bug. There's a system variable being adjusted that shouldn't be.
