[Rwp] [RWP] Silencing audio and a synth VST question

[Brett]

Hi, 

Am I doing something wrong here, or 'others seeing this as well. 

When I make a split on a track, all goes as expected, but if Iattempt to make another about half of the time I get the message "0 items added". Any ideas on why this occurs? I am probably doing something wrong, but can't for the life of me figure out what it may be. 

I am using the latest reaper 64bit on Windows 7 64bit with NVDA,  if that matters. 

Many thank's, 
Brett.
