What you probably want is normalize (point the mouse and hit N) or, for the best results, to increase the gain on your audio interface when recording. I've never seen a program other than a sample editor that allowed tracks to get any taller than non timeline does--and non timeline is not a sample editor. Generally, one wants to have consistently normalized regions on all tracks of the timeline, and then adjust to taste in the mixer. Note that you can change the snap-to setting, even turning it off. You know that a region has been split because the source name is displayed in the lower left hand corner of each region. A line would just obscure some number of samples of audio.
