Re: FCP 5.0 timeline problem
That is because by applying a slow motion or fast motion effect to your clip changes the length of it. Try putting the clip you want to slow down on another video track and leave the non-effect tracks on another video track, then when you apply the motion effect , it will not disrupt the other clips on the other video track.
Or, when you put down a clip you know is going to get a motion effect, do your effect before you put any clips beyond it.

Change the speed of the clip in the Viewer...BEFORE you drop it into the timeline. Then it will go where you want it to. If you need to, match frame to it, adjust the speed, then drop it in.

Re: FCP 5.0 timeline problem
Sounds like you have snapping on. Turn it off by hitting the "n" key. (well at least that is what it is in FCP 4.5)
