Description
By default, midi clips and automation clips start out with auto-resize enabled, which means as you add notes/nodes, the clip expands to be the right length. However, once you manually resize or split a clip, auto-resize is disabled, and you have to re-enable it via the rightclick menu if you want it to automatically expand again.
However, there is no way to see at a glance which clips have auto-resized enabled or not. Maybe we should add a visual cue for that? What would be the best way to design something like that?

Research direction
Start by examining the midi clips and automation clips, including the right-click menu control that re-enables auto-resize. Define a visual cue that distinguishes enabled and disabled clips at a glance, then verify that it is clear and consistent for both clip types.
