[CWBRN-23413] - Ctrl+A inside PRV Drum Grid pane selects all tracks in TV
The other day I was heavily engaged in editing drums in the Piano Roll view's Drum Grid pane. Before editing I soloed the track to concentrate on the drums and decided to change the length of all notes in the track to 1/32 for convenience. So I hit Ctrl+A and changed the length as desired. Of course, I don't have a second monitor and the Track view was completely invisible, covered by the PRV.
After 1-2 hours of successful editing, I closed the PRV, unsoloed the track, and hit the space bar to listen to the song.
And the result was..................grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought the song got broken or something, but I immediately realized that the length of all notes in all other tracks had also been changed to 1/32. Maybe this was the first time I did Ctrl+A in the Drum Grid pane. I didn't know this. But, fortunately, the versioning feature saved my life (thanks!). I saved the broken song with the completed drum track under a different name and restored the older version of the song, then copied the drum track from the broken song. Not to mention that I increased the number of versions to keep (from 5 to 10) after this incident.
So, there're really no steps needed to reproduce this issue (just hit Ctrl+A in the Drum Grid Pane), but if you've never used the Drum Grid pane before and want to reproduce the issue, follow these steps:
1. Create a new project.
2. Insert some MIDI tracks.
3. Change the output of one of the tracks to New Drum Map > xxx (whatever drum map you like).
4. Record some notes in this track (no need to insert a synth because you don't need to hear anything).
5. Double-click the recorded clip to open the PRV Drum Grid pane.
6. Click inside the Drum Grid pane, then hit Ctrl+A.
[Expected Results]
In the Track view, only the current track is selected (highlighted).
[Actual Results]
All tracks in the project are selected.
