logic pro - stop autoloop

Dear Logic Pro community,

There is this autoloop 'feature', where if you copy a region into a track, drag a loop into a track, or split a region in a track, it automatically loops it, even over other regions on that track.

I do know that you press L and they are gone.

But is it possible to shut this annoyance off permanently?

This is what i read in the manual:

'Loop function - The Loop region parameter that creates loop repeats for an audio or MIDI

region. You can loop a region using the Loop pointer or by selecting the Loop checkbox in

the Region inspector. The loop repetitions continue until the project end point is reached,

or until another region or folder is encountered on the same track.'

That seems to be wrong. For one thing, it bowls right over other regions.

More importantly, i would like the default to be OFF, not have to continually uncheck this or press L.

Please help! Any information greatly appreciated.
