Describe the bug
If you have a 2.x AUP project with stereo tracks and you then open/import that project in 3.x then you will see that each stereo track has not one but two Clip-handle drag-bars (one per channel). The second one is basically totally redundant.
This, in particular, becomes an issue if the user then collapses the tracks due to Issue #2708
as then no audio is visible, just the drag-bars.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
The right channel drag-bar is totally redundant (though it can be used to move the clip) and so should not be there in this use case.

Additional context
The symptoms of this were originally reported by a confused Forum user:

I assume that the 2.4.2 project that they had consisted of collapsed stereo tracks which worked fine in 2.4.2 with visible audio - but on opening the project in 3.1.3 all the user confusingly saw was drag-bars - see "Screenshots" above.
