It assigns it the same track number as the previous track, vice automatically assigning the next available track. Also there are times when I add a new track and it does not show up on the mixer. It drives me crazy as well that when I reorganize tracks in one window, it does not do so in the mixer window.

My only work around for the adding track issue was to start a session with 64 tracks and then hide a bunch of them, as I need them, unhide them.

Ctrl/Shit/N is all you need to do in protools, so darn easy. Keep in mind that this fundamental stuff.
Because Logic can have multiple instances of the same "track object", that's what you are doing when you add a new track with your method. Look in your Key Commands window for "Create Track" and "Create Track with next Instrument". I have mine set to Shift+Return for "Create Track" when need a duplicate of the current object, and CTRL+Shift+Return for "Create Track with next Instrument" when I need "Audio Track 25" after I've used up the 24 visible in my Autoload.

Two key commands, as many tracks as I need.
