@LWinterberg @saintmatthieu .
In 3.5 alpha, when you change the clip speed using the pitch and speed dialog, the time selection is not updated so that its length is the new length of the clip. This means that the clip is no longer selected. This is a change from the behaviour of the clip speed dialog in 3.4. What was the motivation for this change?
If you select an object, and open a dialog and change one of its properties, the standard behaviour is for the object to remain selected. The user wouldn't expect the object to be no longer selected.
For example, if the user selects a clip, reduces its speed using the pitch and speed dialog, presses Ctrl + C to copy, positions the cursor where they want to paste, and then presses Ctrl + V, I think that they would rightly expect to have pasted a copy of all the original clip (with its reduced speed). But this doesn't happen.
In contrast, if you destructively change the speed of a selected clip using the tempo effect, the clip remains selected.
