Auto snap center align no longer working for cropped video in Camtasia 3

I used to have this workflow:
Capture video, crop it, center align it by dragging and auto snapping to the center of the canvas, then change canvas size to "fit visible".

In Camtasia 3 on Mac, it seems like auto snapping no longer account for the dimension of the video *after* cropping. Instead it always snap based on the original dimension.

Am I doing something wrong? Any way around this?

I do not fully understand the problem you are describing.  When you crop a video, the edges of the video should still snap to the edges of the canvas, or to other media.   Cropping does not, and never has, changed the anchor point of the video.  That will remain at the center of the original uncropped video.    I know this is unintuitive, but it is by design, and has been that way for as long as we have had cropping in the Mac version of Camtasia.

Thanks Stephen. I made 2 videos to explain:
In Camtasia 2, I can crop a video and then snap it to to center of the canvas (at 0:09 of the video): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27322742/Cam2.mp4

In Camtasia 3, I can't do it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27322742/Cam3.mp4

It looks like we broke something. :(   It was definitely not intentional to change that behavior.  I cannot promise anything, but we will try to get that fixed for the next maintenance.
