Might freeze be broken?

Yesterday I wanted to freeze a track and it just didn’t work out. I will have to try out, though, which plugins were active. Maybe it’s also a plugin bug. If anybody else has experienced freeze problems, we should collect as much info as we can and file a bug report…

So: Has anyone else had problems with freezing track, using beta8?

I think this happened to my once. I froze the region, but it still moved around. I thought maybe I just screwed up though because I couldn’t reproduce the problem.

Does freezing help to conserve resources? I’m assuming it renders the track in question and then disables all but the most basic functionality for that track.

I tried to use it this morning when tweaking a mix but Ardour crashed and it was time to go to work.
