Sorry - that was a fast typo. Of course, FIPM is a term used in Reaper and in
the Reaper-manual for a long time. And it is indeed FIPM = "Free Item Position Mode".

Plus, what's more is that free horizontal space in FIPM is always proportional to the zoom level, which is not the case with the empty space I have in R7 since this is always the same height regardless of the zoom-level as I mentioned (and as you can see in my screenshot).
I have not, since I had no reason to assume it'd be a bug. Normally WTF???-issues like this I that encounter in Reaper are due to some setting that's hidden somewhere in the depths of some menu and due to the enormous level of convolution in Reaper (which keeps increasing all the time since they keep adding stuff without seemingly putting too much thought into user-experience) takes major detective work to discover as the cause.
I know what this is. Default setting is 4.
It doesn't hurt to ask on that forum, though; no matter whether it turns out to be a bug or not. I haven't seen anything like that, and don't recall seeing an option for a mode like that - other than yep, it sure does look like something (erroneously?) bringing up some of those free item positioning characteristics, even when it's not turned on. But better just to ask there.jens wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 9:00 pm I have not, since I had no reason to assume it'd be a bug.

These things are often set-and-forget affairs so I have a whole lot of fun with every new machine I use Reaper on.
I didn't mean exporting your working environment only when you know you are immediately going to install on a new computer afterwards . Having an export like that, when a feature for it is so readily available, is a good idea at all times.
Probably some sort of accessibility/usability feature for some. Once you decide to add the textbox for the number of pixels, why not let people set the number of pixels. It's not the same as the track spacers. I like it set to 8 so, whatever, mine has been changed.
Yeah, you're certainly right - I probably should have done that/should be doing that...
I still don't see the point of it/a possible use for it at all - I have it set to 0.ghettosynth wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 12:01 amProbably some sort of accessibility/usability feature for some.

That doesn't mean that it's not useful. The default is 4. There were some comments about similar features on the Reaper blogs regarding certain kinds of trackpad usage. I'm assuming that it's about usability with respect to manipulating adjacent clips vertically, although, it might just be for aesthetics.jens wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 10:34 amI still don't see the point of it/a possible use for it at all - I have it set to 0.ghettosynth wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 12:01 amProbably some sort of accessibility/usability feature for some.
