    Here's whats happening, when you hover over the timeline you are probably letting go in the top half of the track, the icon looks like a forward pointing arrow, this is the insert command. If you let go in the bottom half it will look like a downward pointing arrow aka, overwrite. It won't move any of your tracks but it will overwrite anything it overlaps so you'll want to do the overwrite in a separate track just to make sure and then combine when you're done editing.

    You can get more options by dragging your clips onto the canvas viewer, a popup will come up with options and you drag the clips into those boxes, youll see what I mean.
