I had trouble with 0.99.3 where the "end" marker would move by itself where I didn't want it, like, to 19:33:00 or some crzy point in distant-future time. I'd have to open the "Locations" dialog box, then find the "end" marker, and click "set", which would set it back to 00:00:00, then go back to the editor view, zoom out, and manually move it back to the end of the file. That sucked.

So far I have not seen that problem in Ardour 2.0.2, so I suppose that either it's been fixed or it was some system-specific problem that only I had.
