Why do my objects seem to be linked?

I'm using Movie Edit Pro 2015 Plus. Lately I've had a problem with objects I'm adding to a track. For example: suppose I want to add an object to a track (photo, video clip, audio...whatever) - and I want to add the object somewhere between other objects on that same track. For some reason, once I add the object - and want to move it - it moves all the other objects to the right of it, as if they were linked. I never had this problem before, and I was wondering if I hit something by accident...that I can't find.  Does anyone know what could be linking these? And if so, how do I unlink them? I'm doing a lot of work-arounds, but it's very frustrating. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You have probably switched mouse modes to single-track ripple. There 3 buttons just above the timeline - mouse mode for single objects (6) that is the arrow button; mouse mode for single track (8); and mouse mode for all tracks (7).

There is also a button for inserting objects and it has a popdown with different ways to insert.

To be honest with you - I never looked at those buttons. Right now, it's on "Mouse mode for a track (8)" - sounds like I should have it on "Mouse Mode for Single Objects (6)". Thanks - I kinda figured I toggled something by mistake...just couldn't figure out what.. Appreciate the help.
