Yeah, that's exactly what I don't want to do! I want to disable this feature permanently. I don't want a work around

<p>whenever I drag a clip across the timeline and place it on top of another, the entire thing or a portion of it gets deleted, how do I disable this feature?</p>

<p>(I know the general work around to do this is not to do it but I would like the security that if I missed that I accidentally dragged another clip on top of another and then deleting a little bit that it won't happen)</p>

What about if you put it in a new track? So instead of dragging it onto the clips that are already there, you drag it above them.
