You know what really bugs me about Live?

This has happened to me so many times and i seriously yell "FUCK!" every time it happens...

You go to select a clip in arrangement and move it, AND EVERYTHING GETS SELECTED. Say you are holding option.alt and want to copy/drag a clip. Everything gets selected in the loop brace and copy/drags.

It sucks.

It's nothing a simple ctrl z wont fix, but its still lame.

Its the loop brace thats causing it. Perhaps i am just using Live like a douche but to me it seems counter intuitive. When i want to select what is contained in the loop brace i click the black bar of the brace itself. Why should clicking a single clip in the timeline perform a Select All function? Anyone else find this totally annoying?

Hmm I've had no problem with selecting, I find that fine myself.

What would be cool would be to have more selection options (select after cursor, select all in track, etc) if its there already I havent found it.

Agreed, more preferences would be much appreciated.
