When entering select all mode (ctrl-a) in arrangement view, there doesn't seem to be a shortcut to exit this mode. The only way I've found to get back to individual track selection mode is to double click on a track. Is this the only way or am I missing something?

ESC key.
It's weird that you need a double-click though, here a single click on any clip is enough.

escape does nothing...tried it many times

I see what you mean...the double click is coming from having to de-select a single track and then selecting it again to get out of the all select mode. Might be a bug in 11.2.7
