could be but should not, I am not sure ift that functionality was 
implemented in 2.8.6

But you have used the range-tool for sure? Because in the region-menu 
there is no such entry.

It would look like the old track is being "overwritten" but the original 
material is not changed in the process, you can still find the pristine 
recordings in the regions-list.

If you do not want it to look that way, choose "Export to region list".

No, the result is immediately available in the Ardour-project. You can 
choose, if it replaces the original regions (without overwriting the 
original material as described above...) or if it shall be available in 
the region - list.
