Strange Plug-in Problem

Hi all, I am experiencing a strange problem with DP 7.23 and plugins on audio tracks. If I put a delay/reverb or anything that normally "rings out" after playback is stopped the audio now cuts off as soon as I hit stop.
If I have the same plug on a VI or aux track it behaves as it used to , ie: the delay repeats etc continue on processing even when stopped.
I have loaded up some earlier projects and some work correctly as they always have while others exhibit this new and annoying behavior.
Any suggestions or has anyone else experienced this problem?

I have deleted DP prefs, Motu Audio Prefs etc to no avail.. its not a showstopper but its really bugging me! Same things happen if I run DP 7.22
It must have happened in the last few days since I upgraded to 7.23. I have also now uninstalled 7.23 and re-run the 7.22 updater to no avail.

Thanks!

It sounds like the plug-ins in question are being pre-rendered. Do they behave like you expect when their plug-in GUI windows are visible?

This situation has been around since - forever.

The solution is to record some extra bars of audio "after" the
audio which is feeding the plug-in's bus. The plug-in sees the extra
audio (which will simply be some extremely low-level residual noise) as an input and will keep outputting reverb instead of cutting off.

For example, say your song ends with a low C note on a piano. After that
low note decays to its end, keep recording the audio for that track for
a few more bars, until the reverb's decay will have ended.
