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

I've submitted the file with an explanation. Just so you know, I am using "align to cue point" and "show until end" is enabled. The problem is that if you adjust an object to a cue point BEFORE where it currently sits on the timeline, Story line moves it back to the requested point, and then arbitrarily pads the timelines with whatever number of seconds it moved the object back. So if the object was aligned to time 10 secs, and the entire timeline ends at 30 seconds, if you align it to a cue point at time 5 secs, the object is moved back by 5 seconds and the timeline is now 35 seconds long (original 30 plus 5). This is apparently how I got to over 400 seconds. I had a slide where I substantially shortened the audio, and when I adjusted all of the cue points and then aligned the objects, it padded the timeline for each and every adjustment.
