I'm having problems with cursor movement and hopefully you can help. When I expand a selection to fine tune deletions or loops my cursor doesn't act accordingly. When I move the cursor a small space it doesn’t go. It only snaps to a predetermined length. I went into options, preferences and editing and selected Disable auto snapping below 1:4 zoom ratios. This hasn't solved the problem. I'm sure it's a simple fix but I don't know it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Try, disable 'Snapping' in the "Options" menu.

Thank you very much for your reply. Under my "Options" menu I didn't have the option to choose disable "Snapping". I noticed directly above "Snapping" there's an option for "Quantize to Frames". I checked this option which disabled it and solved my issue. I don't know how I didn't notice that before. Your reply helped me get where I needed. Once again thank you very much.

Oh yes, "Quantize to Frames" been there, done that too.
The 'snapping' features can be very useful though, which is right below 'quantize' (click to engage/disengage). When engaged, a faint box illuminates around the icon in the menu. You can also add a toolbar icon and/or keyboard shortcut.
