When copy an audio file in arrange window it automatically makes ghost copies. Every edit in any file will affect the other copies. I don't want this! I want the file to behave like a real copy. Just like when copy a midi part.

This may depend on how you are copying, and what editing you are doing.
It sounds like you may be copying the region which does not copy the audio file. If you then do any destructive editing on the audio file, then it would make edits to all regions using that file.
If you look in the browser you would be able to see if you’re copying the region or the actual audio file. I suspect that only the region is being copied. There should be a command to duplicate audio file if you need to destructively edit only one copy.

That's not true. Regions are windows to the original audio file, not the file itself. And you may employ all the non-destructive editing tools on copied regions individually without affecting the original region unless you choose to copy it as a clone, or what you're referring to as a ghost.
