Bug#772118: ardour3: Editing MIDI loses data

Package: ardour3
Version: 3.5.403~dfsg-2
Severity: grave

Hi!

Forward from http://tracker.ardour.org/view.php?id=5669:

Editing MIDI sooner or later reliably always ends up causing tons of warnings.
When this happens, whatever is edited after is simply not saved. A work around
is to unlink/fork the MIDI regions until the error message disappears, but that
usually causes lots of notes to either A) disappear completely or B) be
misplaced or be lengthened way beyond its original sizes.



Losing data (here: notes and timing information) justifies severity grave, as
an important musical recording might be permanently lost.
