Possible BR : Screen jumping when moving Audio clip

Ok, I wanted to check if anyone is having this problem, or if I´m doing something stupid here :
I finally installed the T2 demo yesterday evening, and I decided to start by importing a small project I had just started in T1. A the moment, this consisted solely of 2 MIDI tracks, one with a bassline (using Rhino2)and another with a drum pattern (using Battery 2).
Next I decided to import and audio file, from the "8Bit Soundz" sample CD that came with Future Music when they had the T2 review. At this point, the edit is only 8 bars long. So, I import this file and I decide to line up it´s end with the end of bar 4. At first I tried to do this manually, but the screen jumps around (I´m at 1/8 beat zoom level) so I decide to use the "K" shortcut, so that it lines up perfectly.
Now, I copy this same clip and try to put it just before the original. This is a small clip (Traction says it´s 555ms long), so I´m still using 1/8 zoom level, and once again, everytime I move it, the screen jumps to where the cursor is. The clip also moves, but I can´t see where it went, because of this jump, whick makes it impossible to line up correctly. I zoom out to 1/4 and the same happens...the screen jumps to where the cursor is, which is, on occasion, around bar 2. I zoom out again to 1/2 and now the clip moves perfectly and the screen scrolls like it should. Now, I know there´s an option to line up any clip with it´s neighbouring clips, but I find this an odd behaviour.
In Short : If i set the zoom level to anything smaller than 1/2 beat, I can move audio clips, but the screen jumps around in such a way that I can´t see if the clips are exactly where I want them. This happened both when Snapping was On or Off, and both with the "Scroll Smmothly" option turned On or Off.
Being the brilliant program it is, Tracktion has shortcuts to prevent this, but I find this weird and it doesn´t happen to me in T1.
