Muted status of clips is ignored if its take lane is soloed

I understand it now - it's so you can listen to how a comp would sound, if it was included into the track, even when currently a different one is selected. But although I can see that usage, it's infuriating for the times when you're trying to listen to the start or end of clips specifically (eg. to be able to make sure it blends well into a different clip), and the soloing means you hear past the end of the section you wanted.

That used to be possible with isolating clips under the old system. Now, the equivalent of isolation introduces splits into the clips (annoying).
 
Screening takes is useful but I usually want to work with sections of takes, not whole takes.
