I often click a clip to play it from its start. The clip becomes highlighted. I want to adjust one automation point, but wait, what? I'm not adjusting a point - I'm adjusting the selection, both vertically and horizontally, even though I'm dragging one point! I have to click outside the clip's title bar to make it unselected and -then- adjust the point.
This behaviour is unexpected and unintuitive. It would make more sense to have it accessible with a modifier key.
Also, it would be delightful to have modifier keys for locking to horizontal/vertical adjustment. Of course, I'm also crossing my fingers for points snapping to grid in Live 10.

+ 1. Automation editing in L9 is unintuitive.

And of course, we're tired of ctrl+drag. We want to enter automation values with the computer keyboard.
