Bug? - Clicking in edit window selects everything

[cheeseandpepper]

Hi

Since updating to 8.03 LE I've noticed some strange intermittent behavior. Seems like sometimes when I click anywhere on any track in the edit window the entire session gets highlighted. It's similar to what I'd expect when I have the "All Group" selected, but I cant highlight portions, it just automatically selects everything. Then I click on the tempo or meter area and it all gets unselected.

I can't really replicate this on command, but it's happened quite a few times, most often upon first opening a session.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I have also noticed this since I upgraded to 8.0.1. This along with the click/erase midi note issues drives me crazy as well. When clicking once in a specific area it highlights the whole track or whole session.

had to restart PT to get it working again. will try clicking tempo/meter, see if that helps. pretty anoying once it happened. noticed it since 8.0.3, but could have happend in 8.0.1 as well, don't remember...

I have experienced the exact problem on a daily basis, reload session is my only workaround

Then I click on the tempo or meter area and it all gets unselected.

That works for me, no more restarting/reloading necessary. Thanks for the tip, cheeseandpepper!

Yes, I've been having this too.

Zooming out gets rid of it for me.

I get this too. I'm on 8.0.4. usually I have smart tool selected. I switch to grabber and click around in the edit window. eventually it goes away. but annoying and it happens enough to affect work flow.

I have the same problem. Clicking anywhere doesn't solve it for me and restarting doesn't help as well.. It's a huge interruption of workflow for me, please help! :)

I use Protools LE8 Version 8.0.3 on a windows 7 32bit version.

Try updating. See cylabot's post who used a newer version of PT 8. I remember the issue more or less got manageable by clicking somewhere in the timeline or in the arrangement in a later version of PT8, as well.
