Yes, I agree, Jim. It shouldn't work like that. But here's something even a little stranger – the waveform shows up correctly or incorrectly on three different systems. With the 3 minute clip, all three systems show the waveform correctly. With the 5 and 7 minute clips, the waveforms vary. So on one machine the 5 minute clip is correct but the 7 minute clips is incorrect. On another, both are incorrect. One the third, the 7 minute clip is correct and the five minute clip is incorrect. Fun, yes?

This jumps out at me.  If the actual audio differs from the visual waveform, that suggests that the waveforms are being drawn incorrectly.  

When apps misbehave, deleting the prefs is my first step.  If that doesn't fix, reinstall.

This isn't meant to contradict any other suggestions you've gotten or may still get.  But, that just not the way an NLE us supposed to work.

Not only that, but the waveform appears visually in the right place in the timeline of the 5 and 7 minute clips, while the actual audio sounds 8 and 11 frames earlier, as noted above.
