At first, that really annoyed me too. Now I often find that quite useful.* … But not always!
Maybe it would be worth a feature request to be able to choose between e.g. “use selected note values” and “keep default note values” in the settings?

*_ e.g. catching the values of existing notes can be very convenient.
Or inserting all accent drum notes at first, then ghost notes…
when I first got it, it used to catch me out, but I got used to it.
so can’t say it bothers me now - and it is useful when you want to quickly copy notes around.
(In some ways, as it is now, is consistent with entering ‘new notes’… or I guess thats how I view it to avoid confusion)
that said, on the Octatrack, it’s (kind of) the other way around, and that doesn’t cause me issues either.
so yeah, I find the function very useful, but it wouldn’t really bother me to have it the the other way around. (or to leave it as is )
2.30E beta is out and allows to disable this feature!
Settings → Misc → Hold Step Capture (on/off) : you can now disable Step Capture behavior when holding a pad. When disabled, parameters such as Note, Chance, and Velocity are no longer copied to the track’s default parameters.
