loosing content of connected clips and secondary storylines

[Jerome Raim]

A coworker might have made some headway into troubleshooting a (the?) root of the problem. Here’s a quick screen capture I made reproducing it:

FCPX-Losing content is secondary storylines

Shift+clicking secondary content may be actually selecting secondary storylines without you noticing it. Seems it happens only if there’s an overlap, but I haven’t consistently made sense of it.

So if this is the “only” cause of this issue, the rule of thumb is to always hold shift after dragging clips.
