I recently created a video with the best scenes from my favourite TV show. That video ended up at a length of about 1:30 hours. I later discovered that I mistakenly left in part of a scene that I didn’t want to be in there at about 30 min in. So I used Shift+Mouse+the Jump to next point button in the UI to select the segments and group them to move them to fill the gap left by the cutout. Once the next point was across 1 hour in the timeline, it jumped back to a segement around 55 minutes in the timeline. This happens always.
I had to re-read that several times but now I understand.

Is still difficult to understand, but it sounds like you are using the >| button, and it is not going to the next edit. I was not able to reproduce this. Are you aware this function is affected by what is on other tracks?
Most people simply right-click a gap and choose Ripple Delete. Alternatively, turn on Ripple and drag the first clip after the gap to the left to close the gap. Ripple drags all the following clips along with it. No need to make a group for this.
In this particular use case I only had one track. And, yes, I used the > Button.
Additional information: The clips were of different ratios, and I often had to apply some filters to improve the varying quality, since the clips came from digitalised video tapes.
I tried again, and what you wrote isn’t true. Of course I use Ripple Delete in these cases, and I also have switched on Ripple. But at least if transitions are involved, only the last clip to the right of the insert point is being moved to the point. That’s actually pretty annoying, hence my use of groups.
How dare you? It is absolutely correct. I am the ultimate authority on what I made. You’re fired.
